Patients with an offset heart axis (e.g. dilatative cardiomyopathy)
may require a different orientation than parallel to the spine.
1 Check the expiration date of disposable electrodes and order new
ones if necessary.
2 Pull the protective foil off the electrodes and attach them.
3 Use the application cushion and position it together with the PERU
on the patient.
4 Connect the electrode clips of PERU to the ECG electrodes.
◆ Perform the examination. See:
1 Check to see if the leads show a preferably pronounced R-wave on
the Dot display. Information about the ECG signal quality is also
available at the display.
2 In case you are using the Body 18 coil, position it over the heart.
Connect the coil and secure it with the belts. See:
manual
The display shows the following message: Initial Learningphase
active. Don´t move table.
3 Wait at least 10 heart beats (learning phase for triggering) before
you move the patient table into the magnet.

The patient must not move during this learning phase. The
patient table is in the Home position.
The red LED (fault) at the PERU is flashing rapidly?

No analyzable signal is available.
◆ Ensure that the ECG electrodes are attached correctly.
