PRELIMINARY
3-5-4 Connecting the ECG
NOTE: The ECG may be connected to the system at any time, whether the system is powered ON or OFF.
• To connect the internal ECG, carefully push the end of the cable connector into the ECG connector
port (the green, rectangular-shaped socket located on the right side of the front of the system -
beside the pencil probe connector), as shown in Figure 3-85 below.
The same connector is used both for external and internal ECG. The appropriate ECG cable kit should
be ordered when external ECG is to be used.
The ECG cable is a modular cable comprising four different cable parts. The main part (trunk) is a single
cable connecting to the unit at one end, with a cable splitter device at the other end. The splitter has five
receptacles, only three of which are used with the Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N ultrasound unit.
Three color-coded electrode cables are inserted into the splitter in the appropriate color-coded
receptacles. Each electrode cable hooks up to the appropriate stick-on electrode by a clip-type
connector. The color coding of the electrodes follows one of two standards that are common in different
parts of the world. The cable splitter has a drawing defining the color codes, names and electrode
placements for each of the three cables, as shown in Figure 3-86 on page 3-74.
Do not use the Vivid 7 ECG cable with the Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N system.
