• Prepare the electrode sites in the standard configuration for RA (Right Arm), LA (Left Arm) and
LL (Left Leg). Application sites should be clean and dry. Shave or clip excess hair if
necessary.
• Connect the ECG cable to the receptacle in the patient panel.
• Press the adhesive inwards about 1.5 cm towards the center, being careful, NOT to actually
apply any direct pressure to the center section of the electrode. Any direct excessive pressure
applied to the center of these electrodes while attaching them could cause the conductive gel
to be dispensed away from the effective working area.
• Install the electrodes as following:
1
- WHITE (RA)
2
- BLACK (LA)
3
- RED (LL)
• A sound beep and the indicator (
♥
) indicates the QRS detection.
• Connect the ECG leads to the electrodes; ensure that the leads are in the correct ECG patient
cable position.
• Connect the leads to the ECG patient cable. The ECG leads and patient cable connector are
color coded according to AAMI standard for ECG leads.
Leakage current is limited internally by this monitor to less than 10uA. However, always
consider additional leakage current that can be caused by other equipment used on the patient
at the same time as this monitor.
Avoid electro-surgery burns at monitoring sites by ensuring proper connection of the electro-
surgery return circuit. If improperly connected, some electro-surgery units might allow energy to
return through the electrodes.
B. ECG Scale
• To change ECG scale, touch the ECG menu and select the desired scale in the ECG
SCALES menu. The ECG scales options are:
-0.05 mV to +0.1 mV
-0.1 mV to +0.2 mV
-0.25 mV to +0.5 mV
-0.5 mV to +1 mV (factory default)
-1 mV to +2 mV
-1.5 mV to +3 mV
- 0.1 mV to +0.1 mV
- 0.2 mV to +0.2 mV
- 0.5 mV to +0.5 mV
- 1 mV to +1 mV
- 2 mV to +2 mV
- 3 mV to +3 mV
