ECG
The system can be configured with the optional physio module. In that case, the ECG
signal is displayed on the image, and can be reviewed simultaneously with the image.
„ When the system is connected with the ECG module:
z
The Physio menu is available.
z
The ECG icon including heart-shaped symbol and heart rate symbol are
displayed on the screen.
„ The system supports ECG signal from ECG lead or external ECG signal devices.
z
Use DC-IN to connect to the external ECG signal devices.
WARNING:
1. DO NOT use the physiological traces for diagnosis and
monitoring.
2. To avoid electric shock, the following checks shall be
performed prior to an operation:
The ECG electrode cable shall not be cracked, frayed or
show any signs of damage or strain.
The ECG electrode cable shall be correctly connected.
You should use the ECG leads provided with the ECG
module. Otherwise it may result in electric shock.
3. 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 may
subject the patient to electric shock.
4. DO NOT place the ECG electrodes directly in contact the
patient’s heart; otherwise it may lead to stop of the
patient’s heartbeat.
5. DO NOT apply the ECG electrodes if the voltage exceeds
15 volts. This could produce an electric shock.
6. Before using 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.
7. Conductive parts of electrodes and associated
connectors for ECG should not contact other conductive
parts including earth/grounding.
8. Frequent trampling or squeezing on the cables may
result in cable break-down or fracture.
NOTE: When abnormality is detected, please check if ECG leads are properly
connected with the system.
