Event Recording: The Event Recording Procedure
Step 1: Hook-up Patient
The recorder uses a 2-electrode lead for 1-
channel or an optional 3-electrode lead for 2-
channel event recording.
Refer to Step 1: Hook-up Patient in the Holter
Recording section of this manual for hook-up
instructions, but refer to the 2- or 3-electrode
diagram on this page for electrode placement
instructions.
Step 2: Prepare the Recorder
After connecting the patient to the recorder,
follow these steps to prepare the recorder:
1.
Remove the battery cover from the back of
the recorder. Now the battery compartment
and the SD Card slot are exposed.
2.
If there is an SD Card in the recorder, it
should be removed for event recording as it
will drain the battery unnecessarily. To
remove the SD Card, gently press on it and
it should pop out slightly. You should be
able to pull it out easily. If it doesn’t work
the first time, try again.
3.
Insert a fresh 1.5 volt AA battery into the
battery compartment, being sure to orient it
as indicated in the diagram inside the com-
partment. The battery sits loosely in the
compartment. See Appendix B for details
about battery choices.
4.
Replace the battery cover by sliding it into
the slot until it clicks.
5.
The text “DR200/HE” or “DR300” will first
appear on the screen and then after 10 sec-
onds, the recorder will begin counting down
from 15 seconds and will automatically
begin recording. The time-of-day and bat-
tery level will appear on the display once
recording has begun. If LCD also shows
events stored on the recorder, regardless of
whether they are sent, you need to erase
them now.
6.
If the recorder is in Holter mode, you will
get an error asking for an SD Card which
will then alternate with a 15-second count-
down. Interrupt the countdown with the
button sequence, ENTER, down arrow, up
arrow and EVENT and the go to the Gen-
eral Settings menu to change the Recording
Type from Holter to Event. After doing that,
go back to “Return” on the menus until
recorder and the 15-second countdown
begins again. Event recording will start
after 15 seconds.
To Erase Events:
If
the previous patient’s
events still exist on the
recorder and they have
been transmitted or
stored, you will see the
word “Sent” on the
LCD screen and you
must erase the events before hooking up the
new patient. To erase the events, hold down
either green arrow button for 3 seconds. You
will see “ERASING MEMORY” and once
memory has been erased, the event counter at
the bottom of the LCD screen will be reset and
the word “Sent” will be replaced with the word
“Recordings”.
If the previous patient’s recordings were not
“Sent” then you will need to transmit or store
event data before erasing. For more informa-
tion on saving event data, refer to “To Transmit
or Store Events” on the next page.
To Adjust Settings:
In order to adjust settings,
you will need to press the following buttons in
this exact order during the 15 second count-
down: ENTER, down arrow, up arrow,
EVENT. While in Event mode, to restart the
countdown, simply remove and reinsert the
battery.
For more information on settings and how to
adjust them, refer to Appendix C.
Note: If at any time you need to start the set
up process over, just remove the battery to
begin again.
