TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER (96281)
ECG and SpO
2
ECG Overview
ECG monitoring begins when the system detects a signal through
the connection of ECG electrodes or by installation of a battery into
a telemetry transmitter. Please refer to the operations manual for
your patient monitor for complete information on ECG and SpO
2
setup.
Telemetry ECG monitoring requires the minimum conditions from
the list that follows:
• ECG electrodes must be properly attached to the leadwires.
• The leadwires must be properly attached to the telemetry
transmitter.
• The telemetry transmitter must have functional batteries.
• The telemetry receiver module must be:
- Inserted in the receiver housing that is connected to a central
station, or
- Connected to a monitor that is powered ON.
- Configured to the same channel number as its corresponding
telemetry transmitter.
- Connected to a Spacelabs Healthcare diversity antenna.
Patient Preparation and Electrode Application
Use silver/silver-chloride electrodes or their equivalent, and always
connect all electrodes required for a particular lead. Missing
electrodes may result in the loss of the ECG waveform.
