SE-12 Series Electrocardiograph User Manual Introduction

Chapter 2 Introduction

SE-12 series electrocardiograph gathers ECG signals of 12 leads simultaneously. It displays the
operation menu, ECG parameters as well as electrocardiograms.
The 12-channel ECG waves can be viewed on the LCD screen and printed out by using a
high-quality thermal recorder. The sampled ECG data can be saved, transmitted and exported.
The manual, auto, rhythm, R-R analysis or VCG (only configurable for SE-12 Express) mode can
be chosen freely.
For SE-12 Express, the exercise ECG function is optional. When a patient with coronary heart
disease runs, the added heart load will cause myocardium hypotension, and then the ECG will
change abnormally. Therefore, the exercise ECG function of SE-12 Express can be used to
diagnose concealed coronary heart disease and atypical angina pectoris, prescribe the workload
for patients with myocardial infarction before they leave hospital, and assess the effect of the
treatment.
SE-12 series electrocardiograph can be powered by the mains supply or battery.
With a high resolution thermal recorder, a 32-bit processor and a large-capacity memorizer,
SE-12 series electrocardiograph has advanced performance and high reliability. The compact size
makes it suitable for clinic and hospital uses.
SE-12 series electrocardiograph has two models: SE-12 and SE-12 Express.
SE-12 adopts 320×240 dot single color LCD screen; SE-12 Express adopts 800×600 multicolor
LCD screen.
Configuration: main unit, power cord, patient cable, chest electrodes, limb electrodes, disposable
electrodes, alligator clips, thermal recorder paper, fuses, battery.
NOTE: The pictures and windows in this manual are for reference only.

3.2 Preparing the Patient

3.2.1 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.

- 30 -
SE-12 Series Electrocardiograph User Manual Operation Preparations

3.2.2 Preparing the Skin

Thorough skin preparation is very important. The skin is a poor conductor of electricity and
frequently creates artifacts that distort the ECG signals. By performing methodical skin
preparation, you can greatly reduce the possibility of 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
Shave hair from electrode sites, if necessary. Excessive hair prevents a good connection.
Wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
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.

3.3 Attaching Electrodes to the Patient

Two kinds of electrode can be used, one is the reusable electrode (including chest electrodes and
limb electrodes), and the other is the disposable electrode.

WARNING

1. Make sure that all electrodes are connected to the patient correctly before operation.

2. Ensure that the conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors, including
neutral electrodes, do not come in contact with earth or any other conducting objects.

NOTE: The quality of ECG waveform will be affected by the contact resistance between
the patient and the electrode. In order to get a high-quality ECG, the
skin-electrode resistance must be minimized while connecting electrodes.

the ergometer test. The patients with stable chest pain or unstable chest pain but drug controlled,
the heart blood reserve function and myocardial ischemia existence to be estimated after
myocardial infarction or cononary artery reconstruction surgery need to do exercise test.
Diagnosis of exercise test contributes to:
1. Diagnose the coronary artery ischemic disease
2. Estimate the severity, fatalness and prognosis of the known or suspicious coronary heart
disease
3. Provide early fatalness evaluation of the acute myocardial infarction before discharge
4. Evaluate the heart status of patients in different age groups and genders with other heart
diseases or coronary artery reconstruction.

WARNING
Failure on the part of the responsible individual hospital or institution employing this
equipment to implement a satisfactory maintenance schedule may cause undue
equipment failures and possible health hazards.

1) Main Unit
♦ Avoid excessive temperature, sunshine, humidity and dirt.
♦ Put the dustproof coat on the main unit after use and prevent shaking it violently when
moving it to another place.
♦ Prevent any liquid from seeping into the equipment; otherwise the safety and the
performance of the electrocardiograph can not be guaranteed.
2) Patient Cable
♦ Integrity of the patient cable, including the main cable and lead wires, should be
checked regularly. Make sure that it is conductible.
♦ Do not drag or twist the patient cable with excessive stress while using it. Hold the
connector plug instead of the cable when connecting or disconnecting the patient cable.
♦ Align the patient cable to avoid twisting, knotting or crooking in a closed angle while
using it.
♦ Store the lead wires in a big wheel to prevent any people from stumbling.
♦ Once damage or aging of the patient cable is found, replace it with a new one
immediately.
3) Reusable Electrodes
♦ Electrodes must be cleansed after use and make sure there is no remainder gel on them.
♦ Keep suction bulbs of chest electrodes away from sunshine and excessive temperature.
♦ After long-term use, the surfaces of electrodes will be oxidized because of erosion and
other causes. By this time, electrodes should be replaced to achieve high-quality ECG
records.

CAUTION
The device and accessories are to be disposed of according to local regulations after
their useful lives. Alternatively, they can be returned to the dealer or the manufacturer for
recycling or proper disposal.
