How to Use This Manual This manual provides instructions for using the ZOLL M Series with 12-Lead option. It does not contain information on how to read or interpret electrocardiograms (ECGs). It covers the following: •...

Before use, carefully read the M Series Operator’s Guide and these operating instructions. • The M Series with 12SL is designed to acquire and interpret ECG data from resting, supine patients. Use of the device to acquire ECG signals from moving or shaking patients may produce erroneous 12-lead interpretation results. Always ensure that the patient is kept motionless during 12-lead ECG signal acquisition and analyses.
When acquiring 12-lead ECG from quiet supine patients, lateral to and just below the Angle of Louis. ZOLL recommends placing the limb electrodes anywhere Move your finger down two more intercostal spaces to along the ankles and wrists. When it is difficult for the patient the fourth intercostal space which is the V1 position.

Transmission Error In the event of a failure to transmit the ECG record, the operator will be notified and the M Series will continue to retry the transmission until the operator aborts the transmission or the transmission is successful. See “Troubleshooting” for possible transmission error messages and corrective actions.

Return softkey to return to the Patient Information Menu and store the name and ID number. If no patient ID # is entered the M Series automatically generates a 12 digit patient ID# based on the year/date/time (200002151320) of the first 12-lead acquisition.

Cabrera print formats. 1 mV calibration pulses are printed at the beginning of the report for each data channel. You can also configure the M Series unit to print 5, 7.5, or 10 seconds of ECG data for each set of leads. If you specify a setting of 5, 7.5, or 10 seconds, the M Series unit prints data for the same time period (5, 7.5, or 10 seconds) for each set of ECG leads;...

12-lead 4x3 Median Complexes This format prints a single median beat for each of the twelve (12) leads. The median beat is computed by the 12SL algorithm and is denoted by a squiggle at the end of each median lead. The report can be configured for either standard or Cabrera print formats. 1 mV calibration pulses are printed at the beginning of the report for each data channel.
The unit can be configured to print out a measurements matrix, which consists of measurements for each segment of each lead. To print the measurements matrix at the end of an analysis, the user must change the default setting in the M Series device (see the M Series Configuration Guide, P/N 9650-0201-01, for more details).

Cycle through each of the 12 leads by pressing the LEAD button. Verify that good quality, artifact-free ECG signals are displayed and stabilized within 10 seconds on your M Series. Verify the ECG LEAD OFF message is NOT displayed on the screen.
The troubleshooting guide is intended to help you identify and correct problems that arise during operation. If trouble persists after consulting this guide, contact the ZOLL Technical Service Department for problems relating to the M Series unit or GE Medical Systems Information for problems relating to the Catalyst MUSE system.

• The modem card is a non-serviceable/repairable item. It is the responsibility of the user to report the need for any service to the device to ZOLL Medical Corporation. • If you encounter any problems with your telephone after installing any new device, disconnect it from the telephone line to see if the device is the source of the problem.
If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service. If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, please contact ZOLL Medical Corporation, for information on obtaining service or repairs. The telephone company may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is NOT malfunctioning.
OPTION INSERT Canadian Requirements The Industry Canada, formerly the Canadian Department of Communications, label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
