Using External ECG Monitors
When the patient is already connected to the bedside monitoring equipment,
there is an external monitoring cable which plugs into the ECG Output jack
of the bedside monitor and connects to the M4735A Heartstream XL ECG
Input for monitoring.
To use an external monitor with the Heartstream XL, perform the
following steps:
1. Select Lead I or Lead II on the Heartstream XL.
2. Plug the cable into the external monitor ECG Output jack and plug the
input end of the cable into the ECG Input plug on the Heartstream XL.
Delivering Additional Synchronized Shocks
If additional synchronized shocks are indicated, make sure Sync Mode is still
enabled and repeat steps 2-5. In its default configuration, the Heartstream XL
remains in Sync Mode after a shock is delivered, as indicated by the message
6\QF on the display.
The Heartstream XL can be configured to exit Sync Mode after each shock is
delivered.
Disabling Sync Mode
To disable Sync Mode, press located below the 6\QFdisplay. The
message 6\QF is no longer displayed. Sync Mode is also disabled when you
exit Manual Mode.
