AND HEART RATE
Overview
The monitor can calculate heart rate, detect arrhythmia conditions (adult and pediatric
patients only), and display ECG data. Lead wires are connected to the monitor via
special pods designed to facilitate cable management. The MultiMedCables
accommodate standard (3-lead, 5-lead, or 6-lead) cable sets with the (MultiMed 12
Pod) or a 12-lead cable set with the (optional MultiMed 12 Pod). The NeoMed Pod is
designed for 3-lead monitoring for neonatal patients, allowing one ECG waveform to
be displayed. The MultiMed and NeoMed cables also have connectors for an SpO
2
sensor and up to two temperature probes. A connector for an FiO
2
sensor is available
only on the NeoMed cable.
The MultiMed cable also has connectors for an SpO
2
sensor and up to two
temperature probes. The NeoMed pod has all these connectors plus a connector for an
FiO2 sensor. The SpO
2
port is not enabled if you have a Masimo SET or Nellcor
OxiMax logo on the front of your monitor.
Before you begin ECG and heart rate monitoring, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the appropriate MultiMed or NeoMed cable to the monitor.
2. Plug leads and accessories into designated connectors.
3. Attach the lead wires to the electrodes on the patient.
