Page 23: Introduction Section
Indications for Use The ELI 150 Rx is indicated for use in a clinical setting by qualified medical professionals only for recording ECG data of patients. • The device is indicated for use to acquire, analyze, display, and print ECG data for consideration by physicians. -
Page 24: System Description
SECTION 1 System Description The ELI 150 Rx is a 12-lead diagnostic electrocardiograph capable of acquiring, viewing, transmitting, printing, and storing ECG data. The device is optionally equipped with Mortara Instrument’s VERITAS™ resting ECG interpretation algorithm with age and gender specific criteria. If this option is enabled (see Section 4) the VERITAS algorithm can provide an over-reading physician with a silent second opinion through diagnostic statements output on the ECG report. - Page 25 SECTION 1 ELI 150 Rx, Left Side Figure 1-2 ELI 150 Rx, Rear Figure 1-3...

Page 35: Record An Ecg Section
RECORD AN ECG SECTION 3 Section Purpose This section is intended to provide the user with information about: • Patient preparation. • Patient hookup. • Patient demographic entry. • Acquiring, printing, and storing an ECG. • Acquiring rhythm strips. • Optional bar code scanner. Patient Preparation Before attaching the electrodes, assure the patient fully understands the procedure and what to expect. -
Page 36: Patient Hookup
SECTION 3 Patient Hookup Correct electrode placement is important for acquiring a successful ECG. A good minimum-impedance pathway will provide superior noise-free waveforms. Good quality silver-silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes should be used. TIP: Electrodes should be stored in an air-tight container. Electrodes will dry out if not stored properly which will cause loss of adhesion and conductivity. - Page 37 SECTION 3 For accurate V-lead placement and monitoring, it is important to locate the 4th intercostal space. The 4th intercostal space is determined by first locating the 1st intercostal space. Because patients vary with respect to body shape, it is difficult to palpate the 1st intercostal space with accuracy. Thus, locate the 2nd intercostal space by first palpating the little bony prominence called the Angle of Lewis, where the body of the sternum joins the manubrium.

Page 39: Patient Demographic Entry
The patient demographic labels available are determined by the ID format selected in the configuration settings. In addition to short, standard, or long patient ID formats, the ELI 150 Rx also supports a custom ID format. The custom format, designed in an ELI LINK or E-Scribe™ Rx data management system, can be downloaded to the ELI 150 Rx. -
Page 40: Ecg Acquisition, Printing, Storage
ECG is free from artifact (noise) due to patient activity. If workflow permits patient demographic entry prior to acquisition, connect the patient to the ELI 150 Rx and enter the patient identification information as explained in Patient Demographics. After you complete the last data entry field, select F6 (Done) to return to the real-time ECG view. -

ECG view. Storage The ELI 150 Rx manages storage in one of two ways – automatically or manually. When the auto-save configuration option is enabled, ECGs are automatically saved to the directory upon acquisition and printing. When the auto-save configuration option is disabled, the user is prompted to save the ECG after acquisition. -
Page 42: Acquiring Rhythm Strips
See Section 4 for instructions to configure rhythm leads. Begin routine rhythm strips by connecting the patient to the ELI 150 Rx and entering the patient identification information. After the last data entry field from the ID menu is completed, select F6 (Done) to return to the real-time ECG view. -
Page 43: Optional Bar Code Scanner
Mortara’s optional bar code scanner is purchased separately. By connecting the bar code scanner to the ELI 150 Rx’s RS-232 (serial port), all aspects of acquiring an ECG are automated for speed and accuracy of alphanumeric entry, functions, and feature processes. - Page 44 SECTION 3...

Questions and answers
How do you delete the saved EKG's
To delete saved EKGs on the Mortara ELI 150 Rx, you must configure a delete rule. The delete rule marks EKGs for deletion based on specific actions, and they are erased only when the ECG directory becomes full. The available delete rule options are:
- PostPlot: Marks the ECG for deletion after it is printed.
- PostTransmit: Marks the ECG for deletion after it is transmitted.
- PostPlot/Transmit: Marks the ECG for deletion after both printing and transmission.
EKGs marked for deletion are automatically removed following a first-in/first-out process when storage space is needed.

my machine asks "save ecg?" and I don't know how to move on from there. I would be happy to say yes, or no for that matter I just want to move on and do another ecg. I'm stuck! I've pressed F to start a new case, I've pressed "stop", I have pressed everything nothing matters. When things like that happen on my computer I just shut if off and reboot; but with the battery backup on the mortara you can't shut it off. Help!
