8-4 Passport 12/Passport 8 Operator’s Manual
WARNING
 When using electrosurgical units (ESU), patient leads should be placed in a position that is equal distance
from the Electrosurgery electrotome and the grounding plate to avoid burns to the patient. Never entangle
the ESU cable and the ECG cable together.
 When using electrosurgical units (ESU), never place ECG electrodes near to the grounding plate of the ESU,
as this can cause a lot of interference on the ECG signal.
8.3.4 Checking Paced Status
It is important to set the paced status correctly when you start monitoring ECG. The paced symbol is displayed in
the ECG waveform area when the [Paced] status is set to [Ye s ]. The pace pulse markers “|” are shown on the ECG wave
when the patient has a paced signal. If [Paced] is set to [No] or the patient’s paced status is not selected, the symbol
will be shown in the ECG waveform area.
To change the paced status, you can select either:
 the patient information area, or
 [Main Menu
→
][Patient Setup
→
][Patient Demographics], or,
 the ECG parameter window or waveform area
→
[Others >>],
and then, select [Paced] from the pop-up menu and then select [Ye s ] or [No].
If you do not set the paced status, the monitor issues a prompt tone when pace pulse is detected. At the same time, the
paced symbol flashes and the message [Please confirm the pace of patient] appears in the ECG waveform area. Then,
please check and set the paced status of the patient.
WARNING
 For paced patients, you must set [Paced] to [Yes]. If it is incorrectly set to [No], the monitor could mistake a
pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm when the ECG signal is too weak.
 On ventricular paced patients, episodes of Ventricular Tachycardia may not always be detected.
 False low heart rate indicators or false Asystole calls may result with certain pacemakers because of
pacemaker artifact such as electrical overshoot of the pacemaker overlapping the true QRS complexes.
 Do not rely entirely upon the system’s automated arrhythmia detection algorithm. Keep pacemaker
patients under close surveillance.
 For non-paced patients, you must set [Paced] to [No].
 The auto pacer recognition function is not applicable to pediatric and neonatal patients.
