Physiological Signal 7-1
7 Physiological Signal
The physiological unit signal waveform is used for checking ultrasound image in ultrasound exam
(cardiac exam mainly).
The system provides the physiological unit input panel, on which ECG and other signals can be
input. See Chapter 2.9 Physio Panel (ECG).
The system is equipped with physiological unit signal module. Tap [Physio] to enable the
function.
The image area shows ECG curves.
Support ECG and external ECG;
Only one port is on the ECG module, which transfers to ECG source via DC-IN.
1. DO NOT use the physiological traces for diagnosis and
monitoring.
2. To avoid electric shock, the following checks shall be
performed prior to an operation:
The ECG electrode cable shall not be cracked, frayed or
show any signs of damage or strain.
The ECG electrode cable shall be correctly connected.
You should use the ECG leads provided with the
physiological module. Otherwise it may result in electric
shock.
3. The ECG electrode cable must be connected to the system
first. Only after the cable is connected to the system, can the
patient be connected to the ECG electrodes. Failure to follow
these instructions may subject the patient to electric shock.
4. DO NOT place the ECG electrodes directly in contact the
patient’s heart; otherwise it may lead to stop of the patient’s
heartbeat.
5. DO NOT apply the ECG electrodes if the voltage exceeds 15
volts. This could produce an electric shock.
6. Before using high frequency electric surgical unit, high
frequency therapeutic equipment or defibrillator, be sure to
remove the ECG electrode from the patient, in order to prevent
electric shock.
7. Conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors for
ECG should not contact other conductive parts including
earth/grounding.
8. Frequent trampling or squeezing on the cables may result in
cable break-down or fracture.
