Stark Medical are proud sponsors of Cardioline branded ECG systems within Australia and we are here to support all your enquiries. We conduct a service for all models of Cardioline page-witter systems as well as support for your PC-based Cardioline device. You may wish to make use of our return-to-base service where we can inspect your unit at our service centre. Please follow the instructions on this page for returns. We also provide remote digital support for your issue if it is PC related.
ECG Repairs
If your Cardioline is in need of repair, try reading though our Troubleshooting Guide which will walk you through possible solutions you can try from where you are. You may find this helpful for your issue, however if you still determine your unit is faulty, you may decide to send your unit out to us for inspection and repair. We stock spare parts for all the latest models of Cardioline ECG units, so any repair is possible to get your unit up and running again.
Warranty Claims
All Cardioline page-writer ECGs come with a standard 3 year manufacture warranty. If you have read our Troubleshooting Guide with no luck, you may wish to send your unit to us under warranty. You can submit a warranty claim if you have purchased the unit within the last 3 years and can provide a proof of purchase. It does not matter where you purchased the unit from.
Loan Units
StarkMed may be able to provide a loan unit to you at our discretion, depending on circumstances and availability. Typically repairs will only take a few days before it is express posted back to your practice. However, if a repair is forecasted to take longer than expected, we will be in contact and you may wish to request a loan unit so that your practice can continue business as usual.
How much does it cost?
If your unit is outside of the 3-year warranty period, our labour fee is $180/hr. The cost of any replacement parts will also be added. We always quote the final cost of service for approval before any work started. If your unit is covered under warranty, and the fault is due to a manufacturing error, we will waive all costs involved.How to return your ECG machine

12-month preventative maintenance
Starkmed also provide a 12-month routine check-up of your ECG machine. Setting up your device for routine PM checks will improve the longevity of your ECG and will ensure the accuracy of the device's parameters. Additionally, routine maintenance of your ECG is an important measure for practice accreditation, according to the Royal Australian College of General Practices (RACGP). The RACGP states that electrocardiographs "must be serviced regularly in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions so that it remains in good working order." (RACGP, Standards for General Practice, p.155)
