The EKG Technician will perform electrocardiographic testing/signal averaging and Holter monitor/Event Monitor testing as a service to inpatients and outpatients of the UPMC Health System and perform necessary support functions to complete the testing and report procedures.
**Responsibilities:**
+ Manage daily care and maintenance of expensive digital transmitting electrocardiographic equipment.
+ Interact with vendors on monitor readings, supplies and equipment returns.
+ Rotate shifts and work weekends, holidays and double shifts as assigned by the supervisor and per department policy.
