2 Installation and initial preparation
This section describes the operations to be performed before using your new
CARDIOLINE® ar1200view electrocardiograph. Suggestions are given for
" selecting the installation site " and " recommendations for safe use in
conformity with current statutory regulations " are indicated. Also introduced
are the operations involved in preparing the electrocardiograph for use,
such as " loading the thermal paper ", " power supply”; “control and
management of the rechargeable internal battery ", " switching on and off ",
" the menu ", " set-up ".
2.1 Selecting the installation site
Your electrocardiograph complies with European directives on
electromagnetic compatibility. The absence of emissions damaging to radio
and telecommunications transmissions is therefore assured, as also is
protection from interference emitted by other systems and equipment
Nevertheless, in order to protect your device from other equipments not in
conformity with the aforementioned directives:
-
avoid the use of mobile phones near the electrocardiograph;
-
place the electrocardiograph as far as possible from electrical power
lines and sources of static electricity. The ECG signal can be disturbed if
the electrocardiograph is placed near sources of high voltage or
electricity lines;
-
avoid placing the electrocardiograph close to other diagnostic or
therapeutic equipment (e.g. X-ray machines, ultrasound machines,
electrically operated beds, etc.) that could be a source of excessive
interference and ECG signal distortion;
-
if it is impossible to position the electrocardiograph at a distance from
other electrical equipment, switch the other equipment off while
recording an ECG.
Also, to avoid the effect of ambient conditions when recording ECG:
-
record in a room where the temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees
Centigrade. This precaution prevents the patient from feeling cold, which
could increase shivering and contribute to muscle tremor;
-
record using the battery, disconnecting the device from the mains power
supply. This avoids presence of mains power disturbance of the recorded
ECG signal .
2.2 Loading the thermal paper
CARDIOLINE® ar1200view is able to reproduce the ECG signal both on
thermal paper in rolls and on thermal paper in packs. No particular
configuration procedure is required. To correctly load the two types of
paper:
