ECG Module Interface
The ECG module is a battery-powered, fiber optic interface from the
patient to the monitor. The module has five color-coded connectors
along its front surface to interface with the ECG leadsets and 2 color-
coded fiber-optic connectors on the rear surface to interface with the
Veris monitor.
NOTE: The ECG module protection against electric shock is of type
CF, with protection against the effects of defibrillation.
NOTE: Always keep the ECG module on the charger when not in use,
or when anticipating a period of prolonged inactivity.
The ECG module contains an internal, rechargeable battery. A power
switch is provided on the rear of the module. When the monitor is not
in use, make certain that the power switch on the ECG module is off
to extend battery life. The battery is not user-serviceable and cannot
be replaced.
