Monitoring the ECG
Intended Use
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a recording of the electrical activity of the heart. ECG monitoring
allows for identification and interpretation of cardiac rhythms or dysrhythmias and calculation of
heart rate. The ECG is obtained by placing either electrodes or paddles on the patient and
allows the heart’s electrical activity to be monitored and recorded.
ECG monitoring is a tool to be used in addition to patient assessment. Care should be taken to
assess the patient at all times; do not rely solely on the ECG monitor.
ECG Monitoring Warning
Possible Misinterpretation of ECG Data
The frequency response of the monitor screen is
intended only for basic ECG rhythm identification; it
does not provide the resolution required for diagnostic
and ST segment interpretation. For diagnostic or ST
segment interpretation, or to enhance internal
pacemaker pulse visibility, attach the multi-lead ECG
cable. Then print the ECG rhythm in diagnostic
frequency response (DIAG) or obtain a 12-lead ECG.
