condition.
2.1 Inspecting the Electrocardiograph
In order to avoid safety hazards and get quality ECG recordings, the following inspection
procedures are recommended before operation.
WARNING
The electrocardiograph is intended to be used by qualified physicians or personnel
professionally trained, and they should be familiar with this user manual before operation.
1) Environment
Make sure that there is no electromagnetic interference source around the
equipment, especially large medical electrical equipment such as
electrosurgical equipment, radiological equipment, magnetic resonance
imaging equipment etc. Turn off these devices when necessary.
Keep the examination room warm to avoid muscle tremor voltages in ECG
signals caused by cold.
2) Power Supply
If the mains supply is used, please check whether the power cord is
connected to the unit well. The grounded three-slot outlet should be used.
When the battery capacity is low, recharge the battery before use.
3) ECG Cable
Make sure that the ECG cable is connected to the unit firmly, and keep it far
away from the power cord.
4) Electrodes
Make sure that all electrodes are connected to ECG lead wires correctly.
