2. Recording ECGs 

2.1   Record an ECG 

Pocket ECG records ECGs fast, easily and reliably. The only thing you have to do is make sure 
the electrodes are placed correctly and switch on the recorder. Pocket ECG takes care of 
recording and saving the recording. 
 

To record an ECG

, you need to follow these global steps. Each step is explained in more 

detail on the following pages. 

1.  Place electrodes on the patient (see § 2.2 ). 

2.  In Pocket ECG,  create a 

New

 ECG test. 

If there are no recordings for this patient on your Pocket PC start with To create a new test. 
If a previous test is available for the patient for whom you want to record an ECG or if a Patient 
card is available for this patient, select the (latest) test or the patient card, indicated with  , in 
the File list area then continue with To create a new test. 

To create a new test: 

In the Command bar, tap on the 

ECG menu 

and tap 

New

If you have selected a patient/file in the File list area, Pocket ECG will ask if you want 
to copy the Patient data from the selected file to the new ECG. 

 

If you select Yes the Patient data will be copied into the Patient card for the new test. If 
you select No or if no file was selected the Patient card will be empty and has to be 
filled in later.
