iSE Series Electrocardiograph User Manual Recording an ECG
Chapter 5 Recording an ECG
The method for recording an ECG varies depending on the type of ECG to be recorded.
This chapter describes how to record the following ECG types: standard ECG (including
rhythm ECG), pharmaceutical study, VCG and SAECG, and heart rate variability (HRV).
Except standard ECG, the other methods need to be purchased and enabled.
Standard ECG acquisition is classified into real-time sample and pre-sample. You can
configure pre-sample in System Setting > Sampling Setting.
The iSE detects pacemaker pulse when recording the standard ECG in the Auto mode.
Once a pacemaker pulse was detected, it will ask users to display pacing spikes in the
ECG traces or not. If you don’t want such a message, disable the intelligent pace
detection in the setting. While in the Manual mode, the acquired ECGs are not stored or
transmitted. The system will not stop printing the report until you tap the stop button.
NOTE: The instructions in this chapter assume that the patient has been properly
prepared and the electrodes have been placed correctly for the selected ECG test.
5.1 Real-Time Recording
To acquire real-time ECGs, you have four ways:
Turn Sample now on in the New Patient window. When you have entered patient
information and tap Save, the ECG recording screen opens. You can start recording
an ECG.
Tap the patient you want to test in the Patient tab (
Figure 8 Patient tab). The ECG recording screen opens. You can start recording an
ECG.
Tap in the Main Menu (Figure 7 Main Menu) or the Patient tab. The ECG
recording screen opens. You can start recording an ECG.
Turn Intellectual Sampling on in System Setting > Sampling Setting. The
electrocardiograph automatically records an ECG when it detects no poor ECG
signals in 5 seconds. iSE electrocardiograph can be configured to upload ECGs to
the server after recording. To configure, select System Setting > Transmission
Setting > Auto Upload.
5.2 Pre-Sample Recording
Pre-sample initiates the acquisition of ECG data before users tap . The latest 10
seconds of ECG data will be recorded. If less than 10 seconds, the system will continue
to acquire ECG until it reaches 10s.
