ECG Safety Information
6-2 ECG Monitoring
ECG Safety Information
Warning Warning
Always confirm Information Center observations with clinical observation
of the patient before administering interventions.
Warning Warning
Every lead must be secured to an electrode on the patient.
Conductive parts of electrodes must not contact earth or other conductive
parts.
Philips recommends that you change the lead label only to reflect the
physical placement of electrodes. This will ensure a match between the
monitored lead and the label, and prevent any possible confusion.
Warning Warning
When switching from EASI to standard monitoring, there is a loss of data
for 30 seconds.
Warning Warning
EASI derived 12-lead ECGs and their measurements are approximations
to conventional 12-lead ECGs. As the 12-lead ECG derived with EASI is
not exactly identical to the 12-lead conventional ECG obtained from an
electrocardiograph, it should not be used for diagnostic interpretations.
EASI lead placement is supported for adult patients only
