Atria 6100 Operator's manual - Roxon

Chapter6 Patient Preparation!!!WARNINGExplosion hazard. Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics,other gasses that support combustion, or in a high-oxygen atmosphere.WARNINGMisdiagnosis. Electromagnetic interference may cause trace noise orinput overload conditions. This may be caused by the presence of strongEMI fields, or generated by RF noise on the line power, or by electronic,surgical, or diathermy instruments in close proximity to the Atria. Positionthe Atria and the patient cable away from other electrical or electronicequipment, if possible.If used with, or around, other electrical or electronic equipment, alwayscarefully monitor initial readings to verify normal operation.The Atria is compliant with IEC 60601-1-2 EMC immunity requirements.Refer to “EMC Declaration Tables” on pg. 11-10.WARNINGMisdiagnosis. Using unshielded or excessively long cables may cause orincrease susceptibility to electromagnetic interference.Always use the shortest possible shielded cables.OverviewPatient preparation consists of the following steps:1. Patient preparation. See “Patient Preparation” on pg. 6-2.2. Skin preparation. See “Skin Preparation” on pg. 6-2.3. Apply sensors.• For placement information, see “Resting ECG LeadPlacement & Coding Chart” on pg. 6-4 or “Alternative LeadPlacements” on pg. 6-8.• For sensor-specific instructions, see “Disposable RestingECG Sensors” on pg. 6-5 or “Reusable ECG Sensors” onpg. 6-6.4. Apply sensors and connect the patient cable and lead wires beforeentering patient information this allows the sensors to adhere, stabilize,and improve conductivity. See “Connecting Cables and LeadWires” on pg. 6-8.Atria Electrocardiograph Operating Instructions 6-1
