Measuring ECG
ECG Monitoring
6-5
The transceiver detects the inserted leadset type and automatically determines
the ECG measurement and transmitted leads. The Leadset Insertion Guide on
the device will assist you in ensuring the correct measurement during transceiver
usage. If the transceiver senses the insertion of a leadset not matching the
current configuration, the transceiver will source the ECG per the leadset
detected and issue and auditory signal to indicate the condition. An INVALID
LEADSET INOP is generated at the Information Center.
Note—The labels and colors of the ECG electrodes differ according to the
standards that apply for your hospital. The electrode placement references and
illustrations in this chapter use the AAMI labels and colors. See the table below
for additional label and color information.
