Printing the ECG on a Stripchart
The stripchart recorder documents the ECG trace with a 6 second delay at all times. To start the
stripchart recorder, press the RECORDER button. The stripchart recorder runs continuously
until you press the button again.
Each time the strip chart recorder is started, the time, date, ECG lead, size, and heart rate are
printed on the top part of the paper. If the unit is pacing, the output current is also printed.
Note: Check the paper supply at the beginning of each shift and after each use to ensure
adequate recording capability. A colored stripe on the paper means that the paper
supply is low.
A CHECK RECORDER message appears on the display when the stripchart recorder is
activated without paper. The stripchart recorder automatically shuts off when there is no paper.
After loading new paper, press the RECORDER button to start the strip chart recorder.
Diagnostic Bandwidth
When using an ECG cable for monitoring, you can switch the unit to diagnostic bandwidth
(0.05-150 Hz) by pressing and holding the RECORDER button depressed. Diagnostic
bandwidth is maintained and printing continues as long as the RECORDER button is held
down. The unit reverts to standard monitoring bandwidth when you release the RECORDER
button.
