Daily Operational Verification
In addition to the routine unit testing recommended in the E Series Operator’s Guide, perform these steps daily to
ensure proper operation of the E Series non-interpretive 12-lead option. You will need either a 12-lead simulator or a
volunteer “patient”.
1. Connect the V-lead cable to the 12-lead cable.
2. Connect the lead wires of the 12-lead cable and V-leads to the patient or simulator. If connecting to a patient, place
ECG electrodes as indicated in “Electrode Placement” on page 3.
3. Connect the 12-lead cable to the connector located on the rear of the E Series.
4. Turn the E Series selector switch to MONITOR.
5. Select a normal sinus rhythm on the simulator (if using).
6. Press the LEAD button to cycle through each of the 12 leads.
7. Verify that good quality, artifact-free ECG signals are displayed and stabilized within 10 seconds on your E Series
unit.
8. Verify ECG LEAD OFF is NOT displayed on the screen.
9. Verify LOW BATTERY is NOT displayed on the screen.
10.Verify the filter setting is set for 0.05 - 40 Hz (4x3).
11.Press and hold the RECORDER button for 3 seconds.
12.Verify appropriate ECG signals are printed. See “Patient Records” on page 8 for reference.
13.Verify accuracy of time and date printed on the strip.
14.Visually inspect ECG cable snaps for corrosion, particularly on the retaining wire inside the snap.
