ECG DIRECTORY
SECTION 5
The standard ECG directory saves up to 40 individual ECG records. The optional expanded memory permits up
to 200 individual ECG records.
To access the ECG directory, select F6 (More) followed by F1 (Directory of Stored ECGs) from the real-time
ECG view.
NOTE: A password may be required in order to enter the ECG directory. Obtain the password from the
department Administrator.
NOTE: In the ECG directory list,
“P” represents the record has been printed, “X” represents the record
has a delete status, and
“T” represents the record has been transmitted.
NOTE: Records marked for deletion will be maintained on the display.
Management of the ECG record is performed within the directory of stored ECGs. The desired record must be
highlighted in order to view, print, edit, add demographics, or to change delete status.
Use F1 (▼/▲) to navigate by line down the ECG directory; use
1' (Shift), F1 (▼/▲) to move up. Similarly, use
F2 (▼▼/▲▲) to page down the ECG directory; use
1' (Shift), F2 (▼▼/▲▲) to page up. To quickly select a
patient name, use the keyboard to enter the first few letters of the last name. The letters will be displayed in the
lower left corner of the display screen and the desired name will automatically be highlighted.
An ECG may be stored in the directory but have a “delete status” (indicated by “X”). The directory saves records
marked for deletion in the event that you may want to recover the ECG at a later time. Records are
automatically marked for deletion based on the delete rule configuration (see Section 4). To manually mark an
ECG record for deletion, highlight a name from the ECG directory and select F4 (Delet). An “X” will appear in
the far right-hand column of the directory. To remove the delete status, re-highlight the name and select F4
again. All stored ECGs will remain in the directory until it becomes full. When necessary to store a newly
acquired ECG, only those records that have been marked for deletion will be removed.
To view a specific ECG record, highlight the desired name from the directory list and press F3 (Selec). The
selected ECG is presented in acquired ECG view. Toggle through the available waveform formats by
selecting F2 (Leads). To make an additional copy of the ECG, select F3 (Print). To view or change the
patient demographics, select F1 (ID). To return to the ECG directory, select F6 (Done).
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 desired plot format setting and return to the acquired ECG view.
The directory is easily sorted either by name, ID, or date. To sort the ECG records, select F5 (More) from the ECG
directory.
• Select F1 to sort the directory by patient name (patient ID and time/date are displayed in the top row)
• Select F2 to sort the directory by patient ID (patient name is displayed in the top row)
• Select F3 to sort the directory by acquisition date (patient name is displayed in the top row)
To make a printout of the ECG directory, select F4 (Print Directory). The directory lists stored ECGs based on
how you have the directory sorted. The printout indicates if the ECGs have been printed, marked delete, or
transmitted with an “X” in the appropriate column. Select F6 (Exit) to return to the ECG directory.
