With the complementary 6-pole ECG diagnostic cable, the six unipolar thoracic
wall leads according to Wilson (C1-C6) can be recorded. In combination with
the ECG monitoring cable, 12 leads can be displayed simultaneously.
The display shows a complete preview of all 12 leads which can be printed on
paper with the internal printer of the corpuls

. The format and duration of the
printout can be configured in size and length (see chapter 7.1.3 Printer settings,
page 143).
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).
Caution
The preview of the D-ECG on the monitor serves only to check the individual
ECG leads, the signal quality and possible arrhythmias. A diagnosis of the D-
ECG must be based on the printout of the D-ECG.
Warning
The user/physician is always responsible for correct diagnosis and therapy.
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.
6.3.2 Preparing the Patient for a D-ECG
The diagnostic ECG is recorded with the following cables:
• 4-pole ECG monitoring cable,
(for the leads I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF) and
• 6-pole complementary ECG diagnostic cable,
(for leads V1 to V6)
1. Remove excessive hair so that the conductive surface of the therapy
electrodes has full contact with the skin.
2. Clean and dry the skin before applying the ECG electrodes.
3. Place all four ECG electrodes of the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable on the
patient:
