SECTION 3

Printing

If Auto-Print is enabled in the configuration, an ECG is printed following acquisition. To print a manual

printout, select F3 (Print).

Toggle through the available waveform display formats (3, 8 or 12 lead) by selecting F2 (Leads). A preview of

the full 10-seconds of ECG waveform is available in the acquired ECG view. The first 5 seconds are shown on the

initial view screen (page 1/2 is displayed in the upper right corner); the second 5 seconds is viewed by selecting

F2 (Leads) again (page 2/2 is displayed in the upper right corner).

If the auto-print configuration is disabled, a 10-second preview will assist in ensuring a quality ECG acquisition

prior to printing. When you acquire an ECG, the electrocardiograph captures the last 10 seconds. The

relationship between the display and the printout is the same – what is displayed in the ECG acquisition view

is what will be printed.

In order to change the speed, gain, filter, or printout format in the acquired ECG view, select F5 (More). To

manipulate the print format of the acquired ECG regardless of the plot format configuration setting, select F4

(Fmt).

Select the function key corresponding to the desired print format. The acquired ECG view is then displayed and

to make an ECG printout copy in the new plot format, select F3 (Print). Select F6 (Done) to return to the real-

time ECG view.

Storage

The device stores and saves all acquired ECGs automatically.

NOTE: Users may delete an acquired ECG from the acquired ECG screen. Once the delete selection has

been made, a confirmation message will appear. Select

Yes

to permanently delete the record.

Acquiring Rhythm Strips

Rhythm strips are printed in the format defined in the configuration: 3 or 6 channel for the ELI 150c; 3, 6

or 12 channel for the ELI 250c. See Section 4 for instructions to configure rhythm leads.

Begin routine rhythm strips by connecting the patient to the device and entering the patient identification

information. After the last data entry field from the ID menu is completed, select F6 (Done) to return to the

real- time ECG view. Select RHY to begin rhythm printing. You can also acquire a rhythm printout by selecting

RHY without entering the patient ID.

NOTE: Rhythm printouts are only possible from the real-time ECG view.

NOTE: Rhythm acquisitions are only printed and not stored in the device.

The rhythm activity screen appears as soon as the printer begins printing the rhythm strip. The waveform

display format is similar to the real-time ECG view; however, new function keys are available during rhythm

printing.

In addition to manipulating Speed, Gain, and Filter, the user can toggle different lead groups: change lead

groups during printing by selecting F2 (Leads). The change in lead groups is apparent on the printout whereas

the waveform display will remain in the default display of 2.5 seconds of Leads I, II, and V1-V6.
