Electrodes, Leadwires, Sensors, and Sensor Cables
• Carefully route all cables between the patient and the
monitor to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement
or strangulation.
• Signals resulting from devices such as Implantable
Cardiac Defibrillators (ICD) may momentarily blank the
ECG waveform rather than show an out-of-range signal.
In such cases it may not be apparent that the ICD has
triggered and the condition of the patient should be
checked. In all instances of the ICD being triggered,
the monitor will reshow the ECG waveform within five
seconds.
• ECG alarms for ventricular fibrillation and asystole remain
active while the patient’s rate and morphology are being
learned (for example, following a lead switch or use of the
RELEARN feature). ECG alarms for high rate, low rate,
ventricular run, couplet, VE/minute, atrial fibrillation,
pause, and PSVT are not reactivated until the learning
process ends.
• To ensure against any possibility of electric shock, do not
touch lead electrodes or the monitor during defibrillation.
