Introduction
This chapter provides information required for the proper use of the product and
manual. Familiarize yourself with this information before using the product.
Product Information
This section provides a general overview of the product. A detailed description of the
product can be found in Chapter 2, System Overview.
Indications for Use
The MAC 5500/5500 HD ECG Analysis System is intended to acquire, analyze, display,
and record electrocardiographic information from adult and pediatric populations.
Basic systems deliver 3, 6, 12, or 15 lead ECG’s, interpretive analysis, vector loops,
and can be upgraded to provide software analysis options such as high resolution
signal averaging of QRS and P wave portions of the electrocardiogram. Transmission
and reception of ECG data to and from a central ECG cardiovascular information
system is optional.
The MAC 5500 HD is intended to be used under the direct supervision of a licensed
healthcare practitioner, by trained operators in a hospital or medical professional’s
facility.
Prescription Device Statement
CAUTION: United States federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order
of a physician.
Recording ECGs During Defibrillation
This equipment is protected against the effects of cardiac defibrillator discharge
to ensure recovery, as required by test standards. The patient signal input of the
acquisition module is defibrillation-proof. Therefore, it is not necessary to remove
the ECG electrodes prior to defibrillation.
When using stainless steel or silver electrodes a defibrillator discharge current may
cause the electrodes to retain a residual charge causing a polarization or dc offset
voltage. This electrode polarization will block acquisition of the ECG signal. To avoid
this condition, use non-polarizing electrodes (which will not form a dc offset voltage
when subjected to a dc current) such as silver/silver-chloride types if there is a
situation where there is a likelihood that a defibrillation procedure will be necessary.
