ECG
5.5.2.1
Initialization
1.
Observe that the trace display sweeps across the waveform 1 screen in six (6) seconds.
There should be six (6) complete ECG cycles. The same display and timing should be
seen on the Waveform 2 screen.
2.
Check the following sweep speeds for the appropriate displays:
12.5 mm/sec – 12 second sweep/window
5.5.2.2
Leads OFF
1.
Disconnect one lead at a time RA, RL, LL, LA, and C (V) from the simulator and observe
that the message Lead OFF appears on the display
2.
Set the ECG simulator to Short Leads. Verify that the resolution does not exceed one
pixel.
5.5.2.3
Pacer Detect
1.
Set the Pacer Enhancement feature to ON in the ECG Setup Menu.
2.
Set the ECG simulator to Ventricular Pacer.
3.
Verify the pacer pulse (white line) is displayed before the R wave of the QRS signal.
Heart Rate
1.
Set the ECG simulator to ECG QRS Waveform. Set the rate to 250 bpm.
2.
Verify the Rate display is 250 ± 5 bpm.
3.
Decrease the rate to 30 bpm and allow signal to stabilize. Verify that the rate display is
30 bpm ± 3 bpm.
Alarms
1.
Set the simulator to 1mv ECG QRS signal, rate set to 60 bpm.
2.
Set to Print on Alarm, install paper in the recorder, and set the Low HR alarm to 50 bpm,
and High alarm to 120 bpm.
