8. To begin recording, scroll through the main menu until RECORD is displayed, then press Enter . An
initializing
message will be displayed for up to 3 seconds; “Recording” and the current time appear
when the recording actually begins.
During normal operation of a recording, the
current time (HH:MM:SS) is displayed near
the middle of the screen for the entire
recording session. Total hours recorded is
displayed below the current time. The
Recording message is displayed below the
number of total hours recorded; the patient
ID number is displayed at the bottom of the
LCD screen.
NOTE: If the battery door is removed during recording, the H12+ recorder stops recording. A
new proprietary Welch Allyn SD card and fresh battery must be inserted to continue recording.
NOTE: In the event of a lead fail condition occurring during recording, the appropriate lead fail
indicator(s) is displayed below the Recording message and will replace the displayed patient ID
number until resolved. See Appendix A, Troubleshooting, for information on lead fail messages.
Entering (Optional) Diary Events
During the recording session, the patient may be instructed to enter event markers on the H12+ recorder
for analysis purposes. Once entered on the recorder, the patient is instructed to document the time and
symptom in the patient diary. Typical diary events may include symptomatic occurrences, such as
shortness of breath or palpitations, or any event deemed valuable for analysis purposes.
To enter an event after the first minute of recording, press any of the three keys on the H12+ recorder.
An “Event Stored” message is displayed below the current time and will replace the patient ID number
until a new event can be entered.
NOTE: In the event of a simultaneous lead fail event, the Event Stored message replaces the
lead fail message for the one-minute period. If lead fail persists after the one-minute period, the
lead fail message is displayed.
