Patient Operating Instructions
The Monitor should be ready when you receive it from the technician. If
there are any problems, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
Display overview:
To Hookup:
1. Snap lead wires onto electrodes first, then apply electrodes according
to physician instructions.
2. Reapply fresh electrodes daily.
3. Insert the Patient Cable into the Monitor.
Notes:
A. Depending on the cable, there should be a single or double beep
that indicates a good patient connection. If no beep is heard,
double check cable connections.
B. Viewing the display just after the Patient Cable is connected
will show the signals from each of the channels. There will also
be an accompanying beep for the channel number displayed.
C. The Monitor will not respond to any button presses during the
preview time.
D. A square wave will continue to be
displayed if there is not a good
connection to the patient. A good ECG
signal must be found before the Monitor
will start to look for events.
4. The Monitor is now looping and ready to record.
