WARNING
ECG cables can be damaged when connected to a patient during defibrillation or using
other high frequency equipment. Check cables for functionality before using them again.
It is recommended to use defibrillator-proof ECG lead to avoid burn.
NOTE:
1 If an ECG waveform is not accurate, while the electrodes are tightly attached, try to
change the leads displayed on the screen.
2 Interference from a non-grounded instrument near the patient and ESU interference
can cause inaccuracy of the waveform.
9.6 ECG Menu Setup
9.6.1 Setting Alarm Source
To change the alarm source, please select ECG Setup > Alarm Source, then a pop-up box is
displayed:
HR: the monitor considers the HR as HR/PR alarm source;
PR: the monitor considers the PR as HR/PR alarm source;
AUTO: If the Alarm Source is set to AUTO, the monitor will use the heart rate from the ECG
measurement as the alarm source whenever the ECG measurement is switched on and at least one
ECG lead can be measured without a technical condition. The monitor will automatically switch
to PR as the alarm source if:
–a valid ECG lead can no longer be measured and
–a PR source is switched on and available.
The monitor then uses the pulse rate from the measurement currently active as system pulse.
While PR is the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG HR alarms are switched off. If an ECG
lead becomes available again, the monitor automatically uses HR as alarm source.
9.6.2 Setting Beat Source
To change the beat source, select either ECG Setup > Beat Source or PR Setup > Beat Source.
Select from the following options:
HR: HR is HR/PR beat source;
PR: PR is HR/PR beat source;
AUTO: If the Beat Source is set to AUTO, the monitor will use HR as the beat source whenever
the ECG measurement is switched on, and at least one ECG lead can be measured. The monitor
will automatically switch to PR as the beat source if:
 a valid ECG lead can no longer be measured and
