ZOLL E Series Monitor Defibrillator Rev C - Manual (Page 8)

Non-Interpretive 12-Lead ECG Monitoring
6 9650-1215-01 Rev. C
Pressing Retry displays the Transmission screen, so
that transmission can be performed again. Pressing
Return displays the main 12-lead screen. If 30 seconds
elapse and a softkey is not pressed, the main 12-lead
screen will be displayed.
Note the following fault conditions:
• Transmission Error
In the event of a failure to transmit the ECG record,
you are notified with a screen message and tones,
and the E Series continues to retry the transmission
until the operator aborts the transmission or the
transmission is successful. See “Troubleshooting” on
page 12 for possible transmission error messages
and corrective actions.
• Check Recorder
If the recorder runs out of paper or a paper jam
occurs during printout of the 12-lead report, you are
notified with a screen message and tones, and data
transmission continues. The operator can retrieve the
12-lead report by printing a patient record after the
error condition is cleared.
Settings Softkey
To change ECG Filter, Lead Group settings or Dial Type
settings, press the Settings softkey from the 12-lead
Monitor screen. (Note that you can change defaults for
ECG Filter and Lead Group via the E Series
Configuration mode; see the E Series Configuration
Guide for more information.)
Once the settings screen is displayed, press the
Settings softkey again to scroll through and highlight the
different available selections. Press the Enter softkey to
select the setting that is highlighted. You can return to
the 12-lead Monitor screen by pressing the Return
softkey.
Note: AED units in Semi-Automatic mode do not
display "Filter" or "Lead Grp." Only "Dial Type"
displays.
Filter Setting
Selecting Filter allows you to select among the following
three filter/print format settings for 12-lead monitoring:
• 0.05 - 150 Hz frequency 4x3 channel printout:
With this (0.05 - 150Hz 4x3) setting, all 4x3 12-lead
ECG reports print with a 0.05 to 150 Hz bandwidth.
• 0.05 - 150 Hz frequency continuous printout:
With this (0.05 - 150Hz Cont.) setting, pressing and
holding the RECORDER button prints a continuous
ECG strip using full diagnostic bandwidth until the
RECORDER button is released.
Note: Use a diagnostic bandwidth of 0.05 to 150 Hz for
diagnostic ECGs. ZOLL Medical Corporation
suggests using a 0.05 to 40 Hz setting in
environments prone to signal noise.
• 0.05 - 40 4x3 channel printout (0.05 - 40Hz 4x3):
With this setting, all 4x3 12-lead ECG reports print
with a 0.05 to 40 Hz bandwidth. Use this setting to
reduce excessive muscle or other artifact.
Select the filter you want to use by pressing the Filter
softkey. The highlight area scrolls among the different
filter choices.
Note: When the E Series is turned off for more than 10
seconds, all settings are restored to their default
settings.
Lead Group Setting
The E Series non-interpretive 12-lead option allows any
three ECG lead signals to be simultaneously printed on
the stripchart recorder when using a 12-lead cable. You
can choose Standard, Custom 1 or Custom 2, as follows:
• Standard
When programmed to this setting, 3-lead ECG
recordings are grouped and printed together as
follows:
— leads I, II, and III
— leads aVR, aVL, and aVF
— leads V1, V2, and V3
— leads V4, V5, and V6
The lead group that prints on the recorder in this
mode is the group containing the lead selected for
display on the E Series screen. For example, if lead II
is displayed, leads I, II and III are printed; if lead V3 is
displayed, leads V1, V2, and V3 are printed.
Note: When the E Series is turned off for more than 10
seconds, all settings are restored to their default
values.
• Custom
When the lead group is configured to either Custom 1
or Custom 2, 3-lead ECG recordings include the
