Checking the ECG measurement

1. Check that the waveforms and parameter values are displayed without any error
messages when the cable is connected to the patient.

About the ECG analog output signal

Maximum delay of the ECG analog output signal is 35 ms. Pacemaker pulse indication
is included when appropriate and it is summed in to the ECG waveform.
ECG synchronization pulse delay from the R-wave peak is <35 ms, with the exception
of wide QRS (120 ms/0.5 mV).
For more information and detailed specifications, refer to the supplemental
information provided.
The analog output signal is ECG 1 lead (top waveform position).

Using the ECG measurement

The first three displayed ECG leads

You can choose the order of the ECG waveforms displayed in the ECG waveform area.
Lead selection depends on the type of ECG cable used.
The ECG 1 Lead setting affects arrhythmia detection.
When ECG 1 Lead, ECG 2 Lead, or ECG 3 Lead are changed manually and the lead
becomes inactive due to a disconnection, the monitor looks to the ECG lead saved in
the patient profile. If the saved ECG 1 Lead is not available, the monitor looks for lead
II, then lead I, and lastly lead III. Later, if the manually selected lead becomes available
again, the monitor will change back to this lead.
Selecting the first displayed ECG lead
The ECG 1 Lead is the first ECG lead displayed in the ECG waveform area. For
single-lead analysis when aVR, aVL, or aVF is set as the ECG 1 Lead, the following
mapping is used: aVR = II, aVL = I, aVF = III.
1. Select the HR parameter window > Setup > Page 1.
2. Select a lead from the ECG 1 Lead list.
Selecting the second displayed ECG lead
The ECG 2 Lead is the second ECG lead displayed in the waveform area. Depending
on the configuration of parameters and waveforms selected to display, the ECG 2
Lead may appear on page 2 of the display.
1. Select the HR parameter window > Setup > Page 1.
