It is possible to increase leakage current when several systems as
well as electrocardiograph are connected to the patient.
..simultaneously.
Do not connect items not specified as parts of the
electrocardiograph system.
Electrocardiograph software is designed in a way that hazards
arising from errors in the programmed software are minimized.
Electrocardiograph needs to be installed and put into service
according to the EMC information provided in the APPENDIX IV.
To prevent EMC effect on the electrocardiograph, it should not
be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment and that if
adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the system should be checked
for normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
If any liquid is spilled on the system or accessories, immediately
turn off the system and wipe up it by a soft cloth and turn on the
system again.
Equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable
anaesthetic mixture.
To protect patient against the electrical shock hazards, the
electrocardiograph device needs to be connected to grounded power
receptacle.
