19 ECG
The system can be configured with the optional ECG module. In that case, the ECG signal is
displayed on the image, and can be reviewed simultaneously with the image after the image is
frozen.
WARNING:
1. To avoid electric shock, the following checks shall be
performed prior to an operation:
a) The ECG electrode cable shall not be cracked, frayed
or show any signs of damage or strain.
b) The ECG electrode cable shall be correctly
connected.
c) You should use the ECG leads provided with the ECG
module. Otherwise it may result in electric shock.
2. The ECG electrode cable must be connected to the
system first.
3. 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.
19.1 ECG Connection
The ECG connection shall be performed in the following procedure:
1 Turn off the power supply of the system, and connect the ECG module to the USB
port of the system;
2 Connect the ECG cable to the ECG port of the ECG module;
3 Turn on the power supply of the system;
4 Place the ECG electrodes on the patient’s body (as shown in the following figures).
