To enable the ESU Filter for ESU Block or
MultiMed Plus OR Cable
1. Click on the
screen.
2. Click on
3. Click on
4. Scroll to
5. Plug the ESU 5 block into the MultiMed 5 pod.
When using a MultiMed 6 pod, leave the V+ lead
connection open.
NOTE: The MultiMed Plus OR cable has an integrated
ESU filter. Therefore, no ESU block has to be connected.
6. Plug in the applicable ECG lead set (see appendix C, "Approved Options and
Accessories").

Infusion or Roller Bypass Pumps
Infusion or roller bypass pumps may cause artifact in the monitor's ECG signals. Such
interference may cause the monitor to display pacemaker spikes even though the ECG
waveform appears normal. To determine if the pump is the source of the electrical
disturbance, turn it off, if possible. If the artifact disappears, the pump is the probable
cause. To reduce such artifact, choose the lead with the best signal for monitoring or
replace the electrodes. Rerouting invasive pressure tubing away from the infusion
pump tubing may also improve the signals.
Line Isolation Devices
To reduce the effect of line isolation devices, which may cause temporary
disturbances (transients) in the ECG signal, take the following precautions:
Choose the lead with the best signal for monitoring.
Check the electrodes and replace them, if necessary.
