Warning

ECG electrodes be placed between the electrosurgical equipment grounding plate and
electrosurgical knife to prevent burning when electrosurgical equipment is in use. Electrosurgical
equipment cables should not be twisted with ECG cables.

Electrodes are strictly prohibited from being placed close to the electrosurgical equipment
grounding plate when electrosurgical equipment is in use. Otherwise, ECG signals will be severely
affected.

Check on Pacemaking Status
Prior to ECG monitoring, it is important to correctly set animal‘s pacemaking status. When [Paced] is [Yes],
will be displayed. When the system detects pace-making signals, the icon '
︱
' will be displayed.
Users can reset pace-making status:
Select Animal Information Region-[Animal Demographics]-[Paced] or Select [Main Menu]-[Animal
Manage]-[Animal Demographics]-[Paced], or enter [ECG Setup] from ECG Parameter Region and select
[Others>>]-[Paced].
Warning

When the animal is wearing a pacemaker,
‘Paced’ should be set to [Yes], if not, set to [No].

The paced pulse analysis function should be activated for pace-making animals. Otherwise, the
pace-making pulses may be counted as normal QRS complexes, resulting in abnormal HR
computation.
