Warning
Additional use of a nerve stimulator may modify or completely suppress the
ECG representation. In some cases, the ECG of an implanted pacer is
displayed instead.
Warning
In patients with an implanted pacer, it is possible that shockable ECG rhythms
or arrhythmias will only be detected to a limited extent.
To check the ECG cables for functional readiness, the use ot the optionally
available ECG cable tester is recommended (see chapter 9.8 Approved
Accessories, Spare Parts and Consumables, p. 224).
