Appendices
Appendix A – Operations at a Glance – Standard 12-lead ECG
This appendix provides a condensed guide to using the IQecg
®
to acquire a standard 12-lead ECG:
1. Start IQmanager
®
.
2. Select New Patient from the opening screen. For a returning patient, search by the patient’s last name or ID.
3. Complete the fields on the Patient Data screen as accurately as possible. Enter a name or ID number to perform a test. Enter
the date of birth and sex of the patient. Enter the patient’s vital signs. If the patient has a cardiac history, or is taking prescription
medications, make sure to enter them on the appropriate tabs.
4. When the Patient Data screen is complete, prepare the patient for the resting ECG test. Refer to the Quick Reference User’s
Guide included with the IQecg
®
kit, for a standard 12-lead hookup; or refer to “Patient Preparation” of this operation manual.
5. Select New Test on the menu bar, and then select the ECG test after entering the relevant information.
6. Adjust the sweep speed and gain, as necessary. If artifacts or noise occur in the ECG signal, please refer to ECG signal quality
problems in the Troubleshooting Guide for corrective actions. Do NOT turn the Muscle filter on for pacemaker patients.
7. Wait for the ECG tracings to pass the screen twice (about 20 seconds) to verify that the signal quality is good and the baselines
are stable.
8. To acquire a test report, click Acquire on the ECG tab, or Start on the Rhythm tab, as follows:
• Acquire instructs the program to acquire, analyze, and store a resting ECG test.
• Start instructs the program to begin acquiring a preset duration of the rhythm strip, and then prepare a Rhythm report.
9. Reports can be automatically viewed after acquisition, and they can be saved or redone from the review screen.
Appendix B – Operations at a Glance – Modified 12-lead ECG
This appendix provides a condensed guide to using the IQecg
®
to acquire a modified 12-lead ECG .
1. Perform and acquire a standard 12-lead ECG test. (Refer to “Appendix A – Operations at a Glance – Standard 12-lead ECG”
for information on performing a standard 12-lead ECG test.)
2. While in the Report Review screen, prepare the patient data for the modified 12-lead resting ECG test as follows:
a. Prepare the V3R and V7 electrode sites according to best practice.
WARNING
Use only approved accessories with the IQecg®. Substitution of a component different
from that supplied might result in measurement error.
The modified 12-lead ECG provides the clinician the tool to
acquire V3R and V7 using the IQecg
®
device and its 10-lead
patient cable in a way that supplements the standard 12-lead
ECG. We recommend performing a standard 12-lead ECG on the
patient prior to performing a modified 12-lead ECG.
