Chapter 2. Introduction
1. Intended Use
The intended use of the cardiograph is to acquire multi-channel ECG signals from adult
patients from body surface ECG electrodes and to record, display, analyze, and store these
ECG signals for review by the user. The cardiograph is to be used in healthcare facilities by
trained healthcare professionals. Analysis of the ECG signals is accomplished with algorithms
that provide measurements, data presentations, graphical presentations, and interpretations
for review by the user.
The interpreted ECG with measurements and interpretive statements is offered to the clinician
on an advisory basis only. It is to be used in conjunction with the clinician's knowledge of the
patient, the results of the physical examination, the ECG tracings, and other clinical findings.
A qualified physician is asked to overread and validate (or change) the computer-generated
ECG interpretation.

time when overreading reports.
Patient Cable
Connector
Warning: For reasons of patient safety, use only the original Medigate patient
cable. Before connecting the cable to the device, check it for signs of
mechanical damage. Do not use a damaged cable.
2. Electrode Application
Careful application of the electrodes is the key to an interference-free ECG.
For quick, reliable and trouble-free application of electrodes, we recommend using the original
Medigate electrode.
3. Position of electrodes
Lay the patient on the bed in a relaxed state and get rid of any tension on the muscle. Do not
move during measurement. Clean the area of contact with a moist tissue to allow stable
contact between the skin and the electrode. Shave the contact area if there is excess body
hair, and precisely attach the electrode. Incorrect attachment of the electrode affects the
accuracy of the diagnosis; therefore, it is critical to attach the electrode at the correct place.
If the electrocardiogram is unstable, check the status of the electrode, power supply (avoid
using more than one equipment per outlet), connection, et cetera.
