ensure all the ECG electrodes including neutral electrodes are attached with patient
bodies instead of touching with electric conductive parts or the ground.
Caution
Disturbance from non-earthing equipments around a patient or ESU disturbance may
affect waveforms to function improperly.
Where this monitor is operated according to the conditions specified in the EN60601-1-2
(anti-radiation ability: 3V/M) and the electric-field strength above 1V/M may give rise
to the measurement mistakes under various frequencies, it is suggested that the
electroradiant equipment should not be used in the place next to the
ECG/Respirometer.
11.3 Monitoring Procedures
11.3.1 Preparation
Take patient skin preparation before installation of electrodes:
1.
Skin is bad conductor, thus to ensure good touch between electrodes and skin it’s very
important to well prepare patient skin.
2.
When necessary, remove body hair surrounding the electrode positions.
3.
Clean thoroughly the skin with soap and water (don’t use ethyl ether or pure alcohol, as they
will increase skin resistance)
4.
Drily sweep the skin so as to increase capillary blood flow as remove skin scraps and oil.
5.
Install spring clamp or snap before installation of electrodes
6.
Put the electrodes on patient body; in case the electrodes contain no conductive paste, coat
the conductive paste before installation.
7.
Confirm power supply.
Warning
Daily check whether the ECG electrode plates stimulate skin; in case of any
sensitiveness phenomenon, change the electrodes or positions every 24 hours.
Caution
To protect the environment, used electrode must be recycled or properly treated.
Warning
Before monitoring check whether the leads work properly. After users plug out the
