Disturbance from non-earthing equipments around a patient or ESU disturbance may affect
waveforms to function improperly.
Where this monitor is operated according to the conditions specified in the EN60601-1-2
(anti-radiation ability: 3V/M) and the electric-field strength above 1V/M may give rise to the
measurement mistakes under various frequencies, it is suggested that the electroradiant
equipment should not be used in the place next to the ECG/Respirometer.

Monitoring Procedures
11.3.1
Preparation
Take patient skin preparation before installation of electrodes:
1.
Skin is bad conductor, thus to ensure good touch between electrodes and skin it‘s very important
to well prepare patient skin.
2.
Clean thoroughly the skin with soap and water (don‘t use ethyl ether or pure alcohol, as they will
increase skin resistance)
3.
Drily sweep the skin so as to increase capillary blood flow as remove skin scraps and oil
4.
Install spring clamp or snap before installation of electrodes
5.
Put the electrodes on patient body; in case the electrodes contain no conductive paste, coat the
conductive paste before installation
6.
Open the alligator clip to grip the animal fur, be careful not to hurt the animal.
7.
Confirm power supply.
Warning
Daily check whether the ECG electrode plates stimulate skin; in case of any s
ensitiveness
phenomenon, change the electrodes or positions every 24 hours.
Attention
To protect the environment, used electrode must be recycled or properly treated.
Warning
Before monitoring check whether the leads work properly. After users plug out the ECG
cables, screen will display the error information of “Sensor disconnected” and activate voice
alarming.
