Standard Limb Lead Selection - Nellcor N-200 Operator's Manual

Guide to Operation
High-Level ECG Input
To use the signal from a bedside ECG monitor, connect either
the defibrillator sync pulse output or the analog ECG waveform
output (high-level output) from the external ECG monitor to
the interface/powerbase ECG IN/OUT connector. Use only a
Nellcor-supplied or Nellcor-approved ECG patch cord and
connect the patch cord as described in its Directions for Use. It
is important to select the appropriate patch cord for each ECG
monitor. If questions arise, contact qualified service personnel
or your local Nellcor representative.
Refer to the operator's manual for the ECG monitor before
attempting any connection. When using the signal from an
ECG monitor, the signal must be connected to the
interface/powerbase and it must be operating on AC power.
Testing ECG Patch Cord
WARNING: Before use, confirm that the ECG patch cord
connector is compatible with the ECG monitor, and test
the patch cord as described in the patch cord Directions
for Use. If the patch cord is fabricated at the userÕ s
institution, also perform a continuity test before clinical
use.
