When the device examines a patient with a pacemaker, it recognizes the pacemaker
signal within a set range according to technical data and displays them graphically on
the record. When making an analysis the presence of pacemaker is displayed in the
header, in certain cases ECG morphological deviations can disrupt wave recognition.
If the input side of the amplifier does not operate correctly or there is cable or
electrode problem, the device blocks automatically and initializes the filters. After
blocking it checks if the source of the problem still exists. If so, it repeats the blocking
and filter initialization.

appears in the middle of the display, followed by monitoring.
Blocking is only available during monitoring, and is off during storing and analysis
creation.
Use the 9 button. Pressing this button starts on-line printing. The on-line printing
properties (speed, sensitivity and filter state) are the same as the current monitoring
ones. The lead group (3 channels) with the lead indicated on the display, is printed.
If pre-delay (Menu/Settings/Programs/Printing/Pre-delay) has been set, the 2
seconds prior to pushing the button is also printed. This way you can print signal
already displayed.
During monitoring you can change
• lead groups,
• speed,
• and sensitivity.
In this case printing is restarted with the calibration signal. If you turn the filters on
during printing, printing restarts with a new header and the changed settings.
The record header always contains the
• patient ID,
• date and time of printing,
• paper speed,
• sensitivity, and
• filter settings,
• device type and software version number.

During printing the printed heart frequency is the calculated average heart
! frequency for the 10 seconds prior to printing, so it may differ slightly from
what can be measured on the printout.
Printing is not on-line. Besides the delay caused by the filters, the actual speed as
the paper leaves the printer:
• @ 5mm/s: approx. 5 mm/s
• @ 25 mm/s: approx. 25 mm/s
• @ 50 mm/s: approx. 25 mm/s
Use the 0 button. The device creates an adjustable length recording from the
standard 12 leads, in other words from all 4 standard ECG lead groups in the
following order:
• I, II, III
• aVR, aVL, aVF
• V1, V2, V3
• V4, V5, V6
The on-line printing properties (speed, sensitivity and filter state) are the same as the
current monitoring ones.
The automatic printer header is the same as the one created for manual printing.
However, the calibrating signal is only printed before the first group.
The leads are printed in groups of three, but of course the signal acquisition is
performed simultaneously for all groups.
The length of the recording can be set to 2, 4 or 6 seconds in the
MENU/SETTINGS/PROGRAMS/PRINTING/AUTO LENGTH menu.
If pre-delay (SETTINGS/PROGRAMS/PRINTING/PRE-DELAY) has been turned on, the 2

This examination does not require the chest leads, so it is recommended to short
these, for example by connecting them to the R lead. When using chest electrodes,
unstable chest electrode contact during a several-minute long examination may
cause problems, causing automatic blocking.
When using the KPAC4 four-lead cable, leads V1…V6 may not be selected, they are
not printed or stored.
For a monitored lead select a limb lead, for example II.
Before starting the program, make sure there is paper in the device.
During monitoring pressing the “RTM” key executes the selected program.
For the device to correctly define the heart frequency, stable ECG signal

The analysis program collects a 16 seconds long section from the 12 ECG channels,
performs R wave averaging, amplitude and time parameter calculations, and stores
the following data:
• a typical averaged QRS cycle from all 12 channels;
• analysis data from all 12 channels;
• a 16 seconds long 1-channel rhythm record.
The 12 typical – so-called averaged QRS – complexes are only evaluated based on
the typical beats, the non-characteristic QRS’s are filtered. Their length is always
880ms.
The device can only make analysis in the 45 – 175 heart frequency range.

Not enough free memory!
Press the key!
This message disappears when the key is pressed and the device returns to
monitoring mode. In this case you have to delete a few records from the catalog, only
then can you store further records.
A counter appears on the display when starting the program, indicating the number
of seconds remaining until the end of data acquisition required for the program.
When the program starts, the device turns the mains and noise filters off (if they were
on). The baseline filter state is unchanged. The device does not turn the filters back
on after program execution.
If the device finds less than 6 beats in the 16 seconds long data collection, it displays
the following message:
Not enough recognizable beats!
Press the key!
If the device finds more than 45 beats in the 16 seconds long data collection, it
displays the following message:
Heart frequency too high!
Press the key!
The device does not create an analysis in either case, but it does perform data
storage.
In case of pacemaker signal the device creates the analysis, but there may
! be inconsistencies in the numeric data due to morphological differences.
When the counter reaches 0, the program performs more data processing after data
collection. The device assigns an automatic ID to the record. Its format is AUTO
xxxx, where xxxx indicates increasing numbers. This ID can be modified later. This is
followed by a catalog, indicating the new record in inverse.
Now you can view the record and its data according the instructions in the Handling

Selecting this sub-menu ( 5 / then ) lets you enter the mains frequency for
mains filter operation. The mains frequency can be set to 50 and 60 Hz.
Furthermore, this is where you can turn the baseline filter on. The baseline filter
makes better-than-ever quality recordings possible by suppressing baseline
movement. The baseline filter insures during monitoring that
• low frequency noises on the electrodes,
• noises from patient breathing, and
• majority of the noises from patient movement
do not effect the ECG signal.

9.1. Maintenance
The HeartScreen 60G does not require any special maintenance, the number of
moving parts is minimal, thus is the chance of breakdown.
The device’s battery pack has to be changed every 4 years.
To preserve battery capacity it is recommended to format the battery at least semi-
annually. For this, drain the battery completely by disabling the automatic shutdown
feature (‘Settings/Others/Shutdown’), then fully charge the battery for 2.5 hours with
the device’s own charger.
Randomly pressing the control buttons does not cause failure.
It is advised to have the device checked and calibrated with the professional service
at periods specified in the warranty and service manual.
The device’s expected lifetime is 8 years.
Formaldehyde solution may be used to clean and disinfect the device. It may be
cleaned with a detergent wet cloth, and then disinfected with formaldehyde solution
by creating a continuous even layer and allowing it to dry. During cleaning take care
that no liquid gets inside the device and the paper bin. The electrodes may be
cleaned with alcohol or formaldehyde solution. The formaldehyde solution is a smelly
liquid that irritates the skin and mucous membrane, so it is suggested to perform the
cleaning in rubber gloves and afterwards air the room.
Making the formaldehyde solution: for 1000cm3 volume dilute 50 cm3 35-40%
formaldehyde solution in distilled water.
