ECG MONITORING
Warning:
Conductive parts of the ECG patient cables, electrodes, and associated
connections of type CF applied parts, including the neutral conductor of the patient cable and
electrode should not come into contact with other conductive parts including earth ground.
Warning:
Read safety instructions provided with a defibrillator. The monitor is designed to
withstand defibrillation and will recover within 5 seconds, per IEC 60601-1. Only use
accessories approved by Zoe Medical for use with the monitor.
Warning:
Operating the monitor with HR/PR limit alarms disabled means that no low or high
HR/PR alarm conditions will produce alarm notifications. Use this feature with extreme
caution. Patients must be closely observed if HR/PR limit alarms are disabled.
Warning:
Care should be taken to ensure that the total patient-applied current across all
patient-connected equipment is less than 10 microamperes (uA). The monitor applies
approximately 2½ uA to the patient.
CAUTIONS
Caution:
Line isolation monitor transients may resemble actual cardiac waveforms and thus
inhibit heart rate alarms. To avoid the risk of this happening, follow the directions for proper
electrode placement, and keep the ECG lead wires away from sources of line noise.
Caution:
To avoid large offset potentials due to polarization of electrodes, be sure to use
pregelled, Ag/AgCl disposable electrodes, and be sure that all electrodes used on a patient
are of the same type.
NOTES
Note:
The HR/PR numeric is displayed in green when sourced from ECG (default). The color
changes to cyan or green respectively when sourced from SpO2.
Note:
If an ECG waveform is not displayed, follow the instructions in the chapter GETTING
STARTED WITH ECG to select the ECG waveforms for display.
Note:
Visually inspect the ECG cables on a daily basis and follow the instructions in the
Cleaning and Maintenance chapters as needed. Also, check for an inoperable ECG circuit
which would manifest itself as a blank ECG waveform and a "HR lead off" message.
