No. Just like an analog (wired, non-powered) phone, the ECG or Electrocardiograph simply amplifies the electrical impulses it receives from sensors (electrodes on the skin), which are polarized when the heart beats. It is analog because it never converts information into ones and zeroes. However, it is not a computer because it doesn't compute, or process the information, it just displays or prints it. Now, however, many ECGs are attached to computers which analyze the data it receives, though the computer is attached to the analog ECG input and has to convert that to digital data to process it.
