4.5 Inspection before Power-On
In order to avoid safety hazards and get good ECG records, the following inspection procedure
is recommended before power-on and operation.
1)
Environment
:
♦
Check and make sure that there is no electromagnetic interference source around the
equipment, especially large medical electrical equipment such as electrosurgical
equipment, radiological equipment and magnetic resonance imaging equipment etc.
Switch off these devices when necessary.
♦
Keep the examination room warm to avoid muscle action voltages in ECG signal
caused by cold.
2)
Power Supply
:
♦
If mains power is used, please check whether the power cord has been connected to
the unit well, and the grounded three-phase outlet should be used.
♦
Recharge the battery first when the battery capacity is weak before use.
3)
Patient Cable
:
♦
Check whether the patient cable has been connected to the unit firmly, and keep it far
away from the power cord.
