Operation of the ECG monitor
5.1 Selection of ECG leads
The ECG graph can be realized in two ways:
1. via paddles
2. via external ECG patient cables.
The paddle lead is automatically active after switching on the
PRIMEDIC
™
Defi-Monitor
which is indicated by a paddle
symbol on the monitor.
The monitor
cannot
be switched to the standard leads if
no
external ECG patient cable is connected.
The standard leads can be used if an ECG patient cable is
connected. Press LEAD SELECTION (22). Lead II is
immediately active. Press LEAD SELECTION (22) to switch
between the possible leads I, II, III, aVR*, aVL* or aVF*. The
selected lead is shown on the monitor.
To switch back to lead via paddle electrodes press PADDLE-
LEAD (21) regardless whether ECG signals are available via
the external patient cable.
The monitor automatically switches to paddle lead when
pulling out the ECG patient cable from the input socket of the
PRIMEDIC
™
Defi-Monitor
during the monitoring.
Note:
The
PRIMEDIC
™
Defi-Monitor
switches off automatically
when no ECG is shown or no key is pressed for 15 minutes
while the device is switched on. Approx. 30 seconds before
switching off an acoustic signal is given. By pressing any key,
the switching off routine is interrupted.
Note:
If the paddle lead is selected and the paddles are not
attached to the patient, an intermitting line with the message
„Electrodes open“ will be displayed in the monitor. As soon as
the paddles are attached to the patient, the recorded ECG
signal will be displayed in the monitor.
