7 Monitoring ECG (For Pro Only)
7.1 Overview
The electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart and displays it as waveforms and numerics. The
equipment enables ECG monitoring through 3-lead ECG sets and multifunction electrode pads. If both ECG sets and
pads are connected, the configured ECG waveform is displayed in the waveform area.
ECG monitoring is available only on Pro.
7.2 Safety
WARNING
Periodically inspect the electrode application site to ensure skin quality. If the skin quality changes,
replace the electrodes or change the application site.
Use defibrillation-proof ECG cables during defibrillation.
When monitoring a patient implanted with a pacemaker, do not completely rely on the heart rate reading
or the heart rate alarms. Always keep paced patients under close surveillance.
NOTE
If the correct electrodes are applied properly to the patient as instructed by the manufacturer, the display
recovers in 10s after defibrillation.
When connecting electrodes and/or patient cables, make sure that the connectors never come into contact
with other conductive parts, or with earth. Particularly make sure that all of the ECG electrodes are
attached to the patient.
Interference from a non-grounded instrument near the patient and electrosurgery interference may cause
problems with the waveform.
If selected lead cannot provide valid ECG signals, a dash line is shown in the ECG waveform area.
Use the same type of ECG electrodes when monitoring ECG through ECG lead set.
