Chapter 5: ECG Monitoring
5.5 ECG OUTPUT
An analog ECG signal is obtained from ECG OUTPUT connector located on the system's power
plate. This signal is similar to the displayed ECG signal on the monitor and can be used as an
input for some devices such as Electro shock (Defibrillator).
Warning
Use the company designed cable to make connection between ECG OUTPUT connector
and other devices.
Warning
To avoid any cable strain or damage, bedside monitor should be placed in a proper
distance from reference device.
Warning
For patient with pacemaker, the PACE DETECT function must be switched "ON", in
order to removing the pace pulses from analog output signal (Pace signals will be marked
on ECG OUTPUT signal as a square pulse with amplitude of 5 Volt and width of 5 ms).
Warning
If the patient does not have a pacemaker, it may be desirable to turn the detection function
OFF, so that artifacts in the waveform will not be mistaken for a pacemaker signal.
