Electrosurgery (ESU)
The monitor’s ECG function is protected against high-frequency interference from
defibrillators and electrosurgical units. The ESU B
LOCK
(optional) enhances the
performance of the monitor during electrosurgery and allows you to use standard ECG
lead sets. It reduces noise on ECG tracings and helps protect the patient from burns.
STEPS: Using the ESU Block
1. Turn off pacemaker detection.
2. Plug the ESU block into the M
ULTI
M
ED
5 pod as shown above. If you are
using a M
ULTI
M
ED
6 pod, ignore the extra V lead connection.
3. Plug a standard white ECG lead set into the ESU block as shown. Do not use
shielded blue lead wires with the ESU block.
4. Remove the ESU block to continuously monitor the patient.
