Caution Only use electrodes that are well within the expiration date indicated on the package.
Apply the ECG electrodes firmly to the patient’s skin, pressing around the entire perimeter of
the electrodes.
Plug the patient cable connector into the black ECG input connector (located on the rear panel
of the instrument).
Note: If you are using a 3-lead set that is connected to a OneStep Pacing cable, plug the red
connector into the red OneStep cable input connector on the device, and plug the
connector (that is black inside) into the black ECG input connector on the device.
Caution To avoid electrosurgery burns at monitoring sites, ensure proper connection of the electrosurgery
return circuit so that the return paths cannot be made through monitoring electrodes or probes.
During electrosurgery, observe the following guidelines to minimize ESU interference and
provide maximum user and patient safety:
• Keep all patient monitoring cables away from earth ground, ESU knives, and ESU return
wires.
• Use electrosurgical grounding pads with the largest practical contact area.
Always assure proper application of the electrosurgical return electrode to the patient.
