touch animal, bed, table or instrument. All the electrodes (whether connected to the animal or not)
and the animal do not need to be grounded. When the instrument is operated simultaneously with
defibrillator or other electrical stimulation equipment, it is recommended to use disposable plate
chest electrodes to avoid skin burns by metal electrodes.
Be careful when animal is connected to multiple equipments, the total leakage current
might cause the injury. Only type I equipment compliant with IEC60601-1 is allowed to connect
with this instrument, when it is connected with other equipments. Meanwhile, reliable connection
between the potential equalization needs to be carefully considered. After the connection, the
users must measure the total leakage current by themselves to determine whether it meets the
requirements or usage condition.
The pacemaker (if installed) may influence the accuracy and analysis result. Under this
situation, it is suggested that the doctors should identify and analyze it according to the waveform.
To prevent burns, high frequency electric knife contact point must be kept away from the
electrodes. If necessary, plate electrodes can be chosen. Its larger contact area can limit
high-frequency current density to an acceptable range.
The total leakage current should never exceed leakage current limits while several other
instruments are used at the same time.
The operator should not touch animal, animal bed, table or instrument when it use
simultaneous with the defibrillator or pacemaker.
Please use the animal cable and other accessories supplied by ECGMAC. Otherwise, it
will affect the performance and function, even damage the ECG.
Be sure that all electrodes have been connected to the correct position of human body
before operation. Avoid electrodes (including neutral electrodes) and animal to be contacted with
any conducting parts or earth.
The equipment is protected against malfunction caused by electrosurgery.
