Physiological Signal
A physiological input panel is available for this system. The physiological module consists of two
channels: ECG and DC IN. DC IN is capable of handling external ECG signals from other ECG
signal devices.
The scanned image displayed is synchronized with the ECG traces. So ECG signals can be used
as a time reference in an ultrasound exam (mainly in cardiology exams).
The ECG function is an option.
WARNING:
DO NOT use the physiological traces for diagnosis and
monitoring.
To avoid electric shock, the following checks must be
performed prior to an operation:
The ECG electrode cable must not be cracked, frayed or show
any signs of damage or strain.
The ECG electrode cable must be correctly connected.
You must use the ECG leads provided with the physiological
module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
The ECG electrode cable must be connected to the system
first. Only after the cable is connected to the system can the
patient be connected to the ECG electrodes. Failure to follow
these instructions can subject the patient to electric shock.
DO NOT place the ECG electrodes directly in contact with the
patient’s heart. This can stop the patient’s heartbeat.
DO NOT apply the ECG electrodes if the voltage exceeds 15
volts. This could result in an electric shock.
Before using the high-frequency electric surgical unit, high-
frequency therapeutic equipment or defibrillator, be sure to
remove the ECG electrode from the patient in order to prevent
electric shock.
Conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors for
ECG must not come into contact with other conductive parts
including earth/grounding.
Frequent trampling on or squeezing of the cables may result
in cable failure or fracture.
If an abnormality is detected in physio trace, check that the
ECG leads are properly connected to the system.
