WARNING

When using an electrosurgery unit (ESU), ensure proper contact of the ESU's return electrode to the patient
to avoid burns at the monitor measurement site. Never entangle the ESU cable and the ECG cable together.

The neutral electrode of the electrosurgical unit shall properly contact the patient. Otherwise, burns may
result.

When using electrosurgical units (ESU), never place ECG electrodes near to the return electrode of the ESU,
as this can cause a lot of interference on the ECG signal.
8.3.4 Checking Paced Status
It is important to set the paced status correctly when you start monitoring ECG. The paced symbol is displayed in
the ECG waveform area when [ Paced ] is set to [ Yes ]. The pace pulse markers “|” are shown on the ECG wave when the
patient has a paced signal. If [ Paced ] is set to [ No ] or the patient’s paced status is not selected, the symbol will be
shown in the ECG waveform area.
To change the paced status, you can select either:

the patient information area, or

[ Main Menu ]
→
[ Patient Setup ]
→
[ Patient Demographics ], or,

the ECG parameter window or waveform area
→
[ Others >> ],
and then, select [Paced] from the popup menu and toggle between [ Yes ] and [ No ].
If you do not set the paced status, the patient monitor issues a prompt tone when pace pulse is detected. At the same
time, the paced symbol flashes and the message [ Please confirm the pace of patient ] appears in the ECG waveform
area. Then, please check and set the paced status of the patient.
Warning

For paced patients, you must set [Paced] to [Yes]. If it is incorrectly set to [No], the patient monitor could
mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm when the ECG signal is too weak. Do not rely entirely on rate
meter alarms when monitoring patients with pacemakers. Always keep these patients under close
surveillance.

For non-paced patients, you must set [Paced] to [No].

False low heart rate indicators or false Asystole calls may result with certain pacemakers because of
pacemaker artifact such as electrical overshoot of the pacemaker overlapping the true QRS complexes.

The auto pacer recognition function is not applicable to pediatric and neonatal patients.
