ECG Monitoring
ECG Monitoring is an optional feature and requires
a SonoSite ECG cable.
To monitor ECG
1 Connect the ECG cable to the ECG connector on
the ultrasound system, mini-dock, or docking
system.
ECG Monitoring turns on automatically.
Note: An external ECG monitor may cause a lag
in the timing of the ECG trace, corresponding
with the 2D image. Biopsy guidelines are not
available when ECG is connected. The ECG
signal may take up to one minute to restabilize
after defibrillator use on the patient.
2 Select ECG on-screen. (ECG may be on
another page. It appears only if the ECG cable is
connected.)
3 Adjust controls as desired.
WARNING:
To prevent misdiagnosis, do not
use the ECG trace to diagnose
cardiac rhythms. The SonoSite ECG
control is a non-diagnostic feature.
WARNING:
To avoid electrical interference
with aircraft systems, do not use
the ECG cable on aircraft. Such
interference may have safety
consequences.
Caution:
Use only accessories
recommended by SonoSite with
the system. Your system can be
damaged by connecting an
accessory not recommended by
SonoSite.
