The connect can be connected to either a front or back USB port. Connect rectangular USB connection to the computer’s USB port.
Recording Data Confirming ECG Recording The quality of a Holter ECG recording is very important. To record ECG without artifact, confirm the recording conditions before starting the recording. To improve the ECG quality, adjust the electrode attachments. Wireless Data Transfer The controller and the connect use infrared wireless data transfer to confirm the ECG waveform recorded by the recorder.
Recording Data Considerations Using the SEER Light Connect Insert the batteries in the recorder before entering the preview mode. The ECG waveform cannot be checked without inserting the batteries. By entering the preview mode, infrared data transfer will be checked automatically. You can only enter preview mode by remote wireless operation before starting the recorder (selecting the Record button) and during the first three minutes of the recording phase (after pressing the Record button).
Recording Data CAUTION SIGNAL QUALITY — If there is a severe muscle interference or artifact on the ECG when you tap the top of the electrodes lightly or when the patient moves, it is possible that the electrodes are not attached properly. To increase the accuracy of analysis, make sure that the channel has a high amplitude of QRS complex (greater than 10 mV). If the amplitude of QRS is small, shift the electrodes to find a suitable location for electrode attachment.
Recording Data CAUTION PACEMAKER PATIENTS — Pacemaker pulses are only detected on CH1. Before attaching the recorder, check the patient’s ECG to predict which lead will produce a big pacemaker pulse. That is the lead that should be assigned to CH1 (refer to table below). If the pacemaker pulse of CH1 is small, there is a possibility that the pacemaker pulse may not be detected. Change the lead of CH1 to another lead that has a bigger pacemaker pulse.
Recording Data Bars indicate dual pacemaker spikes 081A Starting the SEER Light Recorder There are three ways to start the recorder. Startup with the controller: The recorder can be started remotely by the controller.
