Suction Levels

The system's suction lines can be individually adjusted for each patient using 5 suction
levels. When the unit is turned on, it activates an average default level (about -150 mbar).
The current suction level is indicated by the green LEDs on the control panel. The highest
level is about -220 mbar and should only be used in extreme cases (a lot of body hair).
The suction level must in each case be adjusted to the patient's skin type!
The device must not be used if the skin is broken. Strong suction or long-term
Warning
exposure to suction may result in hematomas! Particular caution is especially required
with older patients. The operator of the unit should ask the patient how he or she feels!
The electrodes should not be applied to the skin of the patient for more than
25 minutes.

Cleaning

When the system is in standby mode, it can blow out the air from the suction lines by
pressing the cleaning button. The cleaning is stopped by pressing the
system then reverts back to standby mode.
Warning
Never apply suction when the electrodes are in a cleaning fluid.

the electrodes (including the neutral electrodes) come in contact with other persons or
conductive objects (even when these are earthed.).

Placement of Electrodes

Careful application of the electrodes and good electrode contact is important for a
good recording (see electrode positioning on pages 13 - 15).
A minimal resistance between skin and electrode is required to obtain the best ECG signal
and ensure the highest quality ECG recording. Therefore, please note the following points:
