Overview
4-2 Monitoring the ECG
Overview
The Heartstream XL can be used for short or long-term ECG monitoring. The
ECG monitoring function allows you to monitor through:
l
multi-function defib electrode pads, or
l
3- or 5-lead ECG monitoring electrodes, as configured.
When the Heartstream XL is turned on, the ECG acquired is shown on the dis-
play. ECG monitoring allows you to continue to monitor through the pads or
to select a lead from an alternate ECG source. (3- or 5-lead). ECG monitoring
also displays the heart rate (HR) and allows you to set HR alarms. ECG
monitoring is always active in Manual Mode. In AED Mode, ECG monitoring
is only active if /HDG6HOHFWis configured to on (the default is on). Plug the
3 or 5-lead ECG patient cable into the connector marked ECG as shown in
Figure 4-1.
A new, fully-charged battery provides approximately 100 minutes of continu-
ous monitoring.
