Make sure that the leadwire set clips or snaps do not touch
any electrically conductive material including earth.
When using an electrosurgery unit, note that the
measurement cables do not incorporate means to protect
against burns in case of a defective ESU return electrode. To
avoid burns at the monitor measurement sites, ensure the
following:
Proper contact of the ESU return electrode to the patient.
●
ESU return electrode near the operating area.
●
Measurement electrodes, leadwires and probes far from
●
the surgical site and the ESU return electrode.
This device is intended to record electrocardiograms from
surface ECG electrodes. It is not meant for positioning
(floating) temporary pacemaker leadwires, performing
pericardiocentesis, or other internal applications.
The Maximum filter may alter the displayed ECG morphology.
Do not make measurements from the displayed or printed ECG
when this filter is selected. Displayed ST values are calculated
before applying the Maximum filtering and may differ from
values measured from the displayed or printed ECG.
When transitioning from a 10-lead cable to a 6-, 5-, or 3-lead
cable, select the Update Lead Set option to clear the Lead
off message from the display.
Disconnected electrodes or loose electrode connections can
lead to missed critical severity ECG alarms. If the device
reports Leads off after selecting Update Lead Set option,
always check the electrode connections to the patient.
