Before attaching the electrodes, greet the patient and explain the procedure. Explaining the
procedure decreases the patient’s anxiety. Reassure the patient that the procedure is painless.
Privacy is important for relaxation. When possible, prepare the patient in a quiet room or area
where others can’t see the patient. Make sure that the patient is comfortable. The more relaxed
the patient is, the less the ECG will be affected by noise.
Thorough skin preparation is very important. The skin is a poor conductor of electricity and
frequently creates artifact that distorts the ECG signals. By performing methodical skin
preparation, you can greatly reduce the possibility of the noise caused by muscle tremor and
baseline drift, ensuring high-quality ECG waves. There is natural resistance on the skin surface
due to dry, dead epidermal cells, oils and dirt.

1) Align all lead wires of the patient cable to avoid twisting, and connect the alligator clips
to the lead wires.
2) Clean the electrode areas on the body surface with 75% alcohol.
3) Attach the disposable electrodes to the electrode positions on the body surface.
The quality of ECG waveform will be affected by the contacting resistance between the patient
and the electrode. In order to get a high-quality ECG, the skin-electrode resistance must be
minimized while connecting electrodes.
WARNING :
1. Make sure that all electrodes are connected to the patient correctly before
operation.

13.1 Cleaning
CAUTION :
Turn off the power before cleaning and disinfection. The mains supply must be
switched off if it is in use.
The surfaces of the main unit and the patient cable can be wiped with a clean soft cloth
damped in soapy water or non-caustic neutral detergent. After that, remove detergent
remainder with a clean dry cloth.
Remove the remainder gel from the electrodes with a clean soft cloth first. Take suction
bulbs and mental cups of chest electrodes apart, and take clamps and metal parts of limb
electrodes apart. Clean them in warm water and make sure there is no remainder gel. Dry the
electrodes with a clean dry cloth or air dry naturally.
Dirty and soiled thermal print head will deteriorate the printing definition. So it should be
cleaned at least once a month regularly.
Open the recorder casing and remove the paper. Wipe the print head gently with a clean soft
cloth damped in 75% alcohol. For stubborn stain, soak it with a little alcohol first and wipe it
off with a clean soft cloth. After air dried, load the recorder paper and shut the recorder
casing.
CAUTION :
1. Prevent the detergent from seeping into the main unit while cleaning. Do not

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is
affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV
broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic
environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the 12-channel
electrocardiograph is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the
12-channel electrocardiograph should be observed to verify normal operation. If
abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as
reorienting or relocating the 12-channel electrocardiograph.
b
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 1
V/m.
