4.3 Preparing the Patient

4.3.1 Instructing the Patient

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.

4.3.2 Preparing the Skin

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.

To Prepare the Skin

1 Shave hair from electrode sites, if necessary. Excessive hair prevents a good connection.

2 Wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.

- 36 -
12-Channel Electrocardiograph User Manual

3 Dry the skin with a gauze pad to increase capillary blood flow to the tissues and to remove the
dead, dry skin cells and oils.

Chapter 8 Printing ECG Reports

There are four modes to print ECG reports.

In the auto mode, the lead groups are switched automatically according to the lead sequence
during the printing course. After the ECG waves of one lead group are printed within a certain
time, the system switches to print ECG waves of another lead group automatically. A 1mV
calibration mark will be printed at the beginning of ECG reports.
In the manual mode, you can determine the lead group to be displayed and printed.
In the rhythm mode, you can print 60s rhythm-lead ECG waveform of one lead in the Single
Lead style or 20s rhythm-lead ECG waveform of three leads in the Three Lead style.
In the R-R analysis mode, you can select a lead to print its R-R histogram, R-R trend chart, 180s
ECG waveform and all the R-R interval values.
Notes:
1. The working mode can not be changed during the printing course. Stop printing reports
before changing the working mode.
2. Within three seconds after returning to the main interface, if you press the
START/STOP key to print an ECG report in the auto or manual mode, the recorder will

Electrocardiograph
The 12-channel electrocardiograph is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in
which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the 12-channel
electrocardiograph can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum
distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the
12-channel electrocardiograph as recommended below, according to the maximum output
power of the communications equipment.
