TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER (96281) OPERATIONS MANUAL 2-6
Lead Availability
ECG lead availability depends on which electrodes are connected to a transmitter, and whether the
transmitter is a Narrowband device (option N), or a Wideband device (option W).
Table 2 and Table 3 detail lead availability for narrowband and wideband transmitters, respectively,
based on which electrodes are connected.
Note:
• Augmented leads aVR, aVL and aVF are only available at the monitor when leads I, II, and
III are all available.
• For optimum performance, the right leg electrode should always be connected.
• If an electrode is not connected, its lead fault indicators will flash on and off at the
transmitter.
• If there are no leads available, all lead fault indicators will flash on and off at the transmitter.
• The headings for each electrode list the AAMI and IEC lead designations (the IEC
designations are in parentheses).
• If a lead is not available, the monitor will either show a blank or switch to an alternate
available lead.
• Leads are only shown on a transmitter if the transmitter includes an optional display.
• If a lead is not available, the transmitter will show a baseline trace.
• Other combinations of disconnected electrodes yield no useful data, resulting in no lead
availability at either the monitor or the transmitter.
