Exercise ECG Module - User Manual
DIR 80012335 Ver. D 14 / 83
To record an exercise ECG:
1. Place electrodes on the patient.
Important: Because Welch Allyn CardioPerfect Exercise ECG is a 12 lead
electrocardiograph all electrodes must be connected! Proper skin preparation
(abrasion if necessary) and proper electrodes are essential for a good signal quality.
2. In the Workstation, select or create a patient.
3. Create a new exercise ECG. The Real-time monitor is displayed. Depending on the
ECG recorder used, Welch Allyn CardioPerfect may ask you to switch on the
recorder.
4. If prompted, switch on the recorder. If a Welch Allyn CardioPerfect Pro recorder is
used no message will appear, the recorder will be switched on automatically. The
Real-time monitor displays the ECG traces.
5. Adjust the real time display to your requirements.
6. In the Real-time monitor, wait until the signal is stabilized and click the Start button to
start recording. Welch Allyn CardioPerfect Exercise ECG automatically starts the first
phase and stage of the test protocol.
7. During the test, you can:
Measure the blood pressure
Add patient perception parameters
Capture an event
Add a comment
Turn pacemaker mode on or off
Apply a baseline filter to filter out baseline wander
Apply a muscle filter
Change or hold the current load
Print a variety of reports
8. To move to the next phase of the test, click the button that displays the name of the
next phase.
9. When you have reached the end of the test, click the Stop button to stop the test.
Welch Allyn CardioPerfect Exercise ECG may ask you to switch off the recorder. If a
Pro recorder with USB connection is used the recorder will be switched off
automatically, no message appears. Welch Allyn CardioPerfect Exercise ECG
automatically saves the exercise ECG and displays it on your monitor.
10. Disconnect the patient.
Important: In case of an emergency the test can be stopped with the Emergency Stop
button. Welch Allyn CardioPerfect will then continue monitoring the patient, but all connected
exercise devices will be stopped immediately. Printouts can still be made and the operator
can still enter comment and user events when the Emergency Stop is engaged. All other
functions are disabled. Click the Stop button to stop monitoring the patient. Welch Allyn
CardioPerfect Exercise ECG automatically saves the exercise ECG and displays it on your
monitor.
