signals.
1. Connect the cable to the right-panel connector marked with the ECG icon.
2. Select electrodes to be used. Use only one type of electrode on the same patient to avoid variations in
electrical resistance. For ECG monitoring, it is strongly recommended to use silver/silver chloride
electrodes. When dissimilar metals are used for different electrodes, the electrodes may be subject to
large offset potentials due to polarization. Using dissimilar metals may also increase recovery time after
defibrillation.
3. Prepare the electrode sites according to the electrode manufacturer’s instructions.
The locations of the electrode are in the following Figure:
Figure 3.5 Electrode Location
Note:
If skin rash or other unusual symptoms develop, remove electrodes from patient.
4. After starting the monitor, if the electrodes become loose or disconnected during monitoring, the system
will display “LEAD OFF” on the screen to alarm the operator.
5. The ECG leads and their corresponding locations are as follows:

 It might not display ECG wave with 3 leads. The 5 leads should be used to have ECG wave.
Safety Instructions for ECG Monitoring
 UP-8000 Multi-parameter Patient Monitor can only be equipped with ECG leads provided by our
company; using ECG leads supplied by other companies may cause improper performance or poor
protection while using defibrillator.
 Electric parts of electrodes, leads and cable are forbidden to contact any other conductive parts
(including ground).
 UP-8000 Multi-parameter Patient Monitor can resist against defibrillator and electrosurgical unit.
Readings may be inaccurate for a short time after or during using defibrillator or electrosurgical unit.
