Dash 2000 Monitor—ECG Connector
NOTE: The signal input is a high-insulation port and it is defibrillator-
proof ( ).
The insulated input ensures patient safety and protects the device
during defibrillation and electrosurgery.
Use only the electrodes listed in the enclosed publication
"Accessories – Dash 2000/3000". Electrodes for diagnostic use may
vastly compromize recovery time and stability after defibrillation.
Do not connect any electrode to metal parts or ground.
1. Electrodes have been placed on the patient following proper skin
preparation.
NOTE: When using “snap” leadwires, attach leadwires to
electrodes first, then apply electrodes to the patient.
This prevents the gel from spreading and becoming
ineffective as you attach the snaps to the electrodes.
2. Leadwires are attached to electrodes on the patient.
3. Leadwires are connected to patient cable and patient cable is connected
to the monitor.
4. Verify the V-lead label is correct if using a 5-leadwire patient cable.
5. ECG setup is adjusted, if necessary. Follow detailed procedures within
this chapter.
