Preparing for ECG Recording: Connecting the Patient Cable
Connecting the Patient Cable

SHOCK HAZARD — Strictly observe the following
warnings. Failure to do so may endanger the lives of the
patient, the user and bystanders.
For reasons of patient safety, use only the original
GE Medical Systems Information Technologies
patient cables. Before connecting the cable to the
device, check it for signs of mechanical damage. Do
not use a damaged cable.
Ensure that conductive parts (such as the patient,
connectors, electrodes, transducers) that are
connected to the isolated patient signal input do not
come into contact with other grounded, conductive
parts. This would bridge the patient's isolation and
cancel the protection provided by the isolated input.
The neutral electrode, in particular, must not come
into contact with ground.
If your electrocardiograph is equipped with an integrated suction pump
connector, you can connect the electrode application system KISS instead
of the standard patient cable.
Use the 10-lead patient cable for acquisition of the standard ECG leads
(Einthoven, Goldberger, Wilson). The 12-lead patient cable is required
when you intend to record the Nehb leads also.
Connect the patient cable to ECG signal input.
When using the electrode application system, connect it to the
suction pump.
