The ECG function is a function that allows you to overlay the bright line of an ECG (electrocardiogram) on an ultra-
sound image, as well as synchronizing a B image with the bright line of the ECG for display .
To use this function, an optional "Reference Signal Unit" is required . Contact your service representative .
WARNING •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
• To prevent the electric shock, be sure to confirm the following cautions before use.
– There should be no abnormality on the ECG cable .
–
ECG Unit should be connected to the specified ECG cable for the Reference Signal Unit.
• Connect the Reference Signal Unit to the system prior to attach the ECG electrodes to a patient . Also, avoid bringing
the patient with the ECG electrodes attached into contact with other conductive parts including grounding . Doing so
may cause an electric shock to the patient when the connector of the ECG cable touches the live part .
• Do not connect the Reference Signal Unit to any connector other than USB connector . Doing so may cause a break-
down .
• Do not let ECG electrodes to touch patient’s heart directly . Doing so may cause a cardiac arrest .
– ECG is Type BF applied part, and is not intended for direct cardiac application .
• Be sure to use the ECG cable that is included with the Reference Signal Unit .
• The selection and use of ECG electrodes are the responsibility of a user .
• Remove any ECG electrodes from your patient before using equipment such as an electric scalpel, high-frequency
therapy equipment, electric stimulator or electric defibrillator. Also, make sure to keep any ultrasound transducer
away from the patient . The patient may get burned or receive an electric shock .

• ECG display is information that is used strictly for your reference . Do not use these waveforms and the display for
diagnostic or monitoring purposes . Also, note that the heart rate of your patient may not be displayed correctly if he/
she uses a pacemaker or an implantable electric stimulator, or has an arrhythmia .
• Before using the Reference Signal Unit, check cables for damage, and the connector for looseness .
• Clean the ECG cable periodically .
– Be careful not to get the ECG clips wet . ECG waveforms will not be correctly displayed .
– Do not soak the connector section in water . Simply wipe it clean with a dry cloth . Entry of water into the connector can
cause a failure .
– Wipe off any dirt on the ECG cable, using a cloth dampened with a solution of isopropyl alcohol diluted down to 30 % to
50 % or 70 % of ethyl alcohol .
• Wipe off any dirt on the ECG Unit and USB cable using a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent.
• The Reference Signal Unit is intended to connect to a medical device complying with IEC 60601-1 . Connect the Ref-
erence Signal Unit only to this system .
