GE CARESCAPE, User Manual

ECG
analysis is intended for use in hospitals, outpatient clinics, emergency departments,
and out-of hospital sites such as ambulances and patients’ homes.
ACS Tool option is intended for adult patient population who are suspected clinically to
have acute coronary syndrome.
NOTE
Although the 12SL analysis program can be used
out-of-hospital, CARESCAPE monitors are intended for
in-hospital use only.
The 12SL analysis program is also referred to as the 12 lead ECG analysis program.
Intended use of ACI-TIPI
The Acute Cardiac Ischemia–Time Insensitive Predictive Instrument (ACI-TIPI) is
intended to be used in a hospital or clinic environment by competent health
professionals. TIPI utilizes recorded ECG data along with patient demographic and
chest pain status to produce a numerical score which is the predicted probability of
acute cardiac ischemia. Like any computer-assisted ECG interpretation program, the
GE Marquette ACI-TIPI evaluation and probability score is intended to supplement,
not substitute for the physician’s decision process. It should be used in conjunction
with knowledge of the patient’s history, the results of a physical examination, the
ECG tracing, and other clinical findings.
ACI-TIPI is intended for adult patient populations.
12 lead ECG analysis points to note
●
For a 12 lead ECG analysis, a 12SL ECG with ACI-TIPI license, 10-leadwire cable, and
10–lead lead electrode placement are required.
●
To obtain the most accurate 12 lead ECG analysis, you should enter accurate
patient demographics. This is especially important when storing and comparing
12 lead reports in the MUSE database.
●
For a 12 lead ECG analysis with the 12RL feature, a 12RL 12 lead ECG license and a
6–leadwire cable (or a 10-leadwire cable with the C2/V2, C3/V3, C4/V4, and C6/V6
leads disconnected) is required.
●
For a 12 lead ECG analysis with the 12RL feature, confirm that the Va and Vb lead
positions are set correctly for a 12RL measurement.
●
For the most accurate serial comparisons, use the same electrode configuration as
used on the prior analysis for the patient.
●
12RL measurement data is not sent to the S/5 Network.
Entering data for a 12 lead ECG analysis
When the Tech ID Required is set to mandatory in the Care Unit Settings , you must
enter the Technician ID before you can confirm the 12 lead settings. All Care Unit
Settings are password protected.
