•
The ECG module is not intended for ECG diagnosis. It must not be used for an intra-
operative application of the heart.
•
Monitor: Not for use as a cardiac monitor.
•
Only the patient cable supplied by GE Healthcare, and only recommended electrodes
must be used.
•
Take care that neither bare parts of one of the three electrodes nor the patient comes
into contact with conductive parts (e.g., metal parts of the examination bed, trolley, or
similar).
•
If the use of a HF surgical system with simultaneously connected ECG electrodes
becomes necessary, a large distance of ECG electrodes from the surgical field and a
perfect position of the neutral electrode of the HF surgical system must be observed
(avoiding burning risk).
•
If the use of a defibrillator becomes necessary, there must be no ECG adhesive
electrodes and no conductive paste between the contact positions of the defibrillator
plates (avoid current bridge; the signal input of the ECG module is defibrillator-safe).
