    RECORD AN ECG SECTION 3 Patient Preparation Before attaching the electrodes, assure the patient fully understands the procedure and what to expect. • Privacy is very important in assuring the patient is relaxed. • Reassure the patient that the procedure is painless and that the electrodes on their skin are all that they will feel.
  • Page 42 SECTION 3 For accurate V-lead placement and monitoring, it is important to locate the 4 intercostal space. The 4 intercostal space is determined by first locating the 1 intercostal space. Because patients vary with respect to body shape, it is difficult to palpate the 1 intercostal space with accuracy.

  • Page 45: Printing

    Storage The ELI 230 will automatically store up to 20 ECGs in its internal memory; however, the ECG records must be transferred via USB memory stick to a PC running ELI Link to be reviewed. Starting with 20 and counting down to 0, the device will display the number of remaining storage slots available just below the display sweep speed on the right side of the display in acquired ECG view.

  • Page 46: Acquiring An Ecg Using The Wam

    Begin routine rhythm strips by connecting the patient to the ELI 230 and entering the patient data. Once completed, select DONE to return to the real-time ECG view. Select RHY to begin rhythm printing. You can also acquire a rhythm printout by selecting RHY without entering the patient data.

  • Page 47: Transfer To A Usb Memory Stick

    Transfer to a USB Memory Stick The user can transfer all the ECG records from the ELI 230 to an external USB memory stick at any time. Using a PC, create a directory on the USB memory stick called “Records.” When done, plug the USB memory stick into the USB port on the ELI 230 (same port as used for the AM12 acquisition module).

  • Page 53 SECTION 4 Auto-Print ECG Defines whether or not the ELI 230 will automatically print the ECG after acquisition. If the selected configuration option is set to No, a manual printout is possible. Display Format Defines the default display format in either 4+4 or 6+6. Regardless of the display format selected, 10 seconds of 12 leads are always acquired.
  • Page 54 SECTION 4 ECG Capture Up to one minute accumulated ECG data can be acquired internally for use with the Best 10 feature. The device automatically selects the best 10 seconds from within the one-minute buffer. Users can switch between BEST 10 or LAST 10 by selecting BEST10 or LAST10 from acquired ECG view. Storage Warning Determines whether a storage warning will display when the electrocardiograph is near the maximum storage level.

  • Page 55: Maintenance And Troubleshooting

    Test Operation After cleaning and inspecting the ELI 230, proper operation of the unit may be confirmed by using an ECG simulator to acquire and print a standard 12-lead ECG of known amplitude. Printing should be dark and even across the page.

  • Page 56: Recommendations To Biomedical Staff

    For improved battery life, keep the electrocardiograph plugged in when not in use. The sealed lead-acid battery will provide optimum life when the unit is fully charged after each use. The ELI 230 will charge a depleted battery to 85% of its capacity in approximately 6 hours or less...
