8. If an Artifact message appears, minimize the artifact, as described under
Troubleshooting. You might need to ensure that the patient is comfortably warm,
reprepare the patient’s skin, use fresh electrodes, or minimize patient motion.
9. (Optional) Adjust the waveforms, using the buttons to cycle through the following
options:
•
leads displayed
• gain (size)
• speed
• filters
10. Touch the Print button to perform the Auto ECG test.
11. If a Waiting for 10 seconds of quality data message appears, at least 10 seconds
of ECG data have been collected with excessive artifact. Time requirements in the
message may vary, based upon selected print format. Minimize the artifact, as
described under Troubleshooting. Then wait for the test to print. If necessary, you
can override the wait time and print the available data immediately, but the result
might be an incomplete or poor-quality test.
12. After the test prints, select the desired option: Reprint, Save, or Retest. If the Auto
Save setting is turned off, touch Save to save the test. Select one of the following
locations:
•
Local (internal memory)
• USB mass storage device (Any tests that you save to a USB mass storage
device can be retrieved only from a CardioPerfect workstation.)
• Workstation
• Remote file location
13. Touch Reprint to print the test again, touch Retest to discard the test and start over,
or touch Exit.
WARNING To avoid the risk of associating reports with the
wrong patients, make sure that each test identifies the
patient. If any report does not identify the patient, write the
patient identification information on the report immediately
following the ECG test.
