5Monitoring a Patient the CodeMaster 100
Refer to “Monitor Operating Controls” on page 1-7. To monitor a patient's
ECG with the HP CodeMaster 100, perform these steps:
1 Prepare the patient for ECG monitoring as described in “Preparing the
Patient” on page 5-5.
2 Turn the Energy Select control to the Monitor On position.
3 Press Lead Select to select the ECG source. The selected source appears
in the upper right corner of the display. For example, PADS appears on
the display when it has been selected.
If the message LEADS OFF or PADS OFF appears on the display, inspect
the electrodes, patient cable, leadwires, and associated connections. If
the selected ECG source is not connected, a dashed line replaces the
normal ECG trace.
4 Ensure that the ECG size has been automatically adjusted for optimal
size. If you wish to reduce the ECG size, press ECG Size. The "gain bar"
along the left side of the display represents 1 mV of signal amplitude.
Autogain allows an initial quick set up when the HP CodeMaster 100 is turned
on to automatically size the ECG based on the signal from the patient. To
turn off Autogain, press ECG Size. You then must adjust the ECG size
manually.
It is recommended that you manually adjust the gain during routine patient
monitoring.
5 Adjust the QRS beeper volume (using ) to the desired volume.
