8-18 Dash™ 3000/4000/5000 2000966-386D
Monitoring ECG
WARNING
—This device uses a computerized 12-lead ECG analysis program
which can be used as a tool in ECG tracing interpretation. This
computerized interpretation is only significant when used in
conjunction with clinical findings. All computer-generated tracings
should be overread by a qualified physician.
To ensure accuracy, use only computer-generated tracings and not
the display for physician interpretation.
The intended use of this device is to record electrocardiograms and
vectorcardiograms from surface ECG electrodes, not for positioning
(floating) temporary pacemaker leadwires, performing
pericardiocentesis, or other internal applications.
NOTE
When monitoring ECG, entering the sex and age of the patient will provide
information needed for using the 12SL Algorithm with Gender-Specific Analysis
or the ACI-TIPI algorithm. The 12SL Algorithm with Gender-Specific Analysis
improves the detection of acute myocardial infarctions (AMI) for adult women
under the age of 60.
If the date of birth is not entered, the system will set the date of birth to the
current month and day, but the year will be set to 1948.
ACI-TIPI analysis cannot be performed on patients less than 16 years of age.
1. From the ECG menu, select 12 LEAD ECG ANALYSIS. All 12 leads of ECG

2. Define the following information (if required). If ACI-TIPI is enabled, you may
have to define additional information.
TECHNICIAN ID — Select up to four characters.
OPTION FIELD — Select up to two digits.
ORDER NUMBER — Select up to nine digits.
3. Select 12 LEAD ECG NOW.
The “PERFORMING ANALYSIS, PLEASE WAIT” message displays for
approximately 30 seconds until the analysis report displays.
4. Select one of the following options:
TRANSMIT-PRINT — Send the report to MUSE system for storage and
print to local printer.
TRANSMIT — Send the report to MUSE system for storage.
PRINT — Print analysis and waveforms to a laser printer or just the analysis
to a writer.
DELETE — Erase the report.
RETURN — Close the report.
