8 ECG AND HEART RATE
Electrosurgery (ESU)
The monitor’s ECG function is protected against high-frequency interference from
defibrillators and electrosurgical units. The ESU B
LOCK (optional) enhances the
performance of the monitor during electrosurgery and allows you to use standard ECG
lead sets. It reduces noise on ECG tracings and helps protect the patient from burns.
STEPS: Using the ESU Block
1. Turn off pacemaker detection.
2. Plug the ESU block into the M
ULTIMED 5 pod as shown above. If you are
using a M
ULTIMED 6 pod, ignore the extra V lead connection.
3. Plug a standard white ECG lead set into the ESU block as shown. Do not use
shielded blue lead wires with the ESU block.
4. Remove the ESU block to continuously monitor the patient.
WARNING:
z Dräger recommends using the ESU block during
electrosurgery. If you do not have an ESU block, use
only Dräger blue ECG lead wires. They help protect the
patient from burns caused by ESU-induced current
flowing through the lead wires.
z Impedance respiration monitoring and pacemaker spike
detection are inoperative when using the ESU block.
z The NEOMED pod is not intended for use during
electrosurgery. To protect patients from burns, do not
use the N
EOMED pod in an ESU environment.
