To navigate through the information entry panel, use the following keys:
•
Use the Row Up quick access key ( ) to move to the previous row on the panel.
•
Use the Row Down quick access key ( ) to move down one row on the panel.
Use the navigation keys on the front panel to highlight the next or previous character on the
information entry panel.
You can also select the following function keys on the information entry panel:
•
Backspace
Erases the last character entered.
•
Clear
Erases all characters entered.
•
SAVE
Saves the characters entered for that parameter and returns you to the
Patient Info panel.
•
Cancel
Returns you to the Patient Info panel without saving the characters
entered.
Entering Patient Age and Gender
The Patient Info parameter panel provides default values for the Patient Age and Patient
Gender parameters. To change a default value, highlight and select the parameter, and then
specify a new value as follows:
To change Patient Age, use the navigation keys on the front panel to decrease or increase the
default value (45), then press Select.
To change Patient Gender, use the navigation keys on the front panel to toggle between the
default value, M (male), and F (female), then press Select.
Note: It is important that you provide the patient’s age and gender prior to performing ECG
analysis using the Inovise 12L Interpretive Algorithm. Entering the correct age and
gender ensures that the highest degree of ECG analysis is obtained. If you do not enter
the patient’s age or gender the X Series uses the default age (45 years) and default
gender (male). See “12-Lead Interpretive Analysis” on page 14-8.
12-Lead ECG Monitoring Setup
The proper application and placement of electrodes is essential for high quality 12-Lead ECG
monitoring. Good contact between the electrode and skin minimizes motion artifact and signal
interference.
To set up 12-lead ECG monitoring, perform the following steps:
1. Prepare the patient's skin for electrode application.
2. Apply the electrodes to the patient.
3. Connect each lead of the ECG cable to the appropriate electrode.
4.
Connect the 12-Lead cable to the X Series unit.
5.
Observe the patient’s electrocardiogram on the display, and adjust size of the 12-Lead ECG
waveform traces, as necessary.
