ECG 8-1 
8  ECG 
The system can be configured with the optional ECG module. In that case, the ECG signal 
is displayed on the image, and can be reviewed simultaneously with the image. 
  When the system is connected with the ECG module: 
 
The Physio menu is available. 
 
The ECG icon including heart-shaped symbol and heart rate symbol are 
displayed on the screen. 
  The system supports ECG signal from ECG lead or external ECG signal devices. 
 
Use DC-IN to connect to the external ECG signal devices. 
WARNING:
1.
DO NOT use the physiological traces for diagnosis and 
monitoring. 
 
2.
To avoid electric shock, the following checks shall be 
performed prior to an operation: 
The ECG electrode cable shall not be cracked, frayed or 
show any signs of damage or strain. 
The ECG electrode cable shall be correctly connected. 
You should use the ECG leads provided with the ECG 
module. Otherwise it may result in electric shock. 
 
3.
The ECG electrode cable must be connected to the 
system first. Only after the cable is connected to the 
system, can the patient be connected to the ECG 
electrodes. Failure to follow these instructions may 
subject the patient to electric shock. 
 
4.
DO NOT place the ECG electrodes directly in contact the 
patient’s heart; otherwise it may lead to stop of the 
patient’s heartbeat. 
 
5.
DO NOT apply the ECG electrodes if the voltage exceeds 
15 volts. This could produce an electric shock. 
 
6.
Before using high frequency electric surgical unit, high 
frequency therapeutic equipment or defibrillator, be sure 
to remove the ECG electrode from the patient, in order to 
prevent electric shock. 
 
7.
Conductive parts of electrodes and associated 
connectors for ECG should not contact other conductive 
parts including earth/grounding. 
 
8.
Frequent trampling or squeezing on the cables may 
result in cable break-down or fracture. 
 
NOTE:
When abnormality is detected in physio trace, please check if ECG leads are 
properly connected with the system.
