ECG Monitoring Electrodes
Using Multifunction Defib Electrodes
Multifunction defib electrodes (M3501A, M3502A, M3503A, M3504A) allow
you to monitor, defibrillate, and perform synchronized cardioversion. In
order to perform pacing, you must attach both ECG monitoring electrodes
and defib electrodes. To use defib electrodes, perform the following steps.
1 Attach multifunction defib electrodes as instructed on the package.
2 Attach the electrode adapter cable (M2472A) to the defibrillator.
3 Connect the defib electrodes to the electrode adapter cable. The elec-
trodes are correctly connected when the locking ring is twisted, locking
the ears of the connector to the adapter cable.
4 Use the Lead Select button to select
PADS
as the ECG source.
Using Paddles
For an emergency evaluation you can monitor a patient’s ECG through the
paddles electrodes when leads are not attached to the patient.
Do NOT use paddles to monitor the ECG during elective cardioversion
procedures when the HP CodeMaster 100 is in synchronous (SYNC) mode.
Refer to Chapter 7, ”Performing Synchronized Cardioversion”, for detailed
information on performing elective cardioversion.
