ECG-12 Series Electrocardiograph Service Manual Operating Principle
This chapter describes the basic theory and the internal circuit structure of the
electrocardiograph to let the service provider understand the operating principle.
The heart is a power organ of the blood circulation. Before the systole or the diastole, a
cardiac impulse happens in the heart muscle, and a faint bioelectric signal is thus
generated. The bioelectric signal is transmitted through the whole body, and the potential
difference is generated on the different skin surfaces because of the different distances
from the heart.
The cardiogram is a record of the amplification of the potential distribution on the body
skin surface. The potential difference is sampled by the electrodes, and amplified and
processed by the electrocardiograph. Then it is recorded on the paper. The cardiogram
recorded by the electrocardiograph can help doctors to analyze and diagnose heart
disease. The intended use of the electrocardiograph is to acquire ECG signals from adult
and pediatric patients through body surface ECG electrodes. The electrocardiograph only
records the heart's electrical activity, and does not produce any electricity of its own. The
test does not hurt and has no known side effects. It does not require any preparations
except possibly shaving chest hair to get a better recording. The recording itself takes
only a few seconds.
It is more than one hundred years since the electrocardiograph was applied in clinical
diagnosis. The electrocardiograph is an important measurement in clinical diagnosis of
heart disease, and is equipped in almost every hospital and clinic.

ECG-12 Series Electrocardiograph Service Manual Operating Principle
P wave: the sequential activation (depolarization) of the right and left atria
QRS complex: the right and left ventricular depolarization (normally the ventricles are
activated simultaneously)
ST-T wave: the ventricular repolarization
U wave: the origin of this wave is not clear - but probably represents
"after-depolarization" in the ventricles
PR interval: the interval from the onset of the atrial depolarization (P wave) to the
onset of the ventricular depolarization (QRS complex)
QRS duration: the duration of the ventricular muscle depolarization
QT interval: the duration of the ventricular depolarization and repolarization
RR interval: the duration of the ventricular cardiac cycle (an indicator of the ventricular
rate)
PP interval: the duration of the atrial cycle (an indicator of the atrial rate)

ECG-12 Series Electrocardiograph Service Manual Operating Principle
The electrocardiograph has 10 lead cables. The ECG signals pass through the
defibrillator protection circuit, the buffering circuit, and enter the difference amplifier circuit.
Then they continue to pass through the pacemaker pulse restraining, high-pass filter,
low-pass filter, channel switch, second level amplification, and enter the A/D sampling
port of ADC.
PS900D power supply module is shown in the above figure. This module provides +12V
and +5V voltages for the main board, and also provides recharging circuit for the battery.
The hardware of the device can control the switch of DC/DC module to turn on the device.
When the software of the device detects the signal of turnoff, it will save necessary data,
and then control the system to turn off the device.
The key board is shown in the figure below. When a key is pressed down, the interrupt
logic of key matrix emits an interrupt signal. After CPU (ATmega161) detects the interrupt
signal, it reads the key by row scan and column scan, and sends values to the main
board through the serial port.

ECG-12 Series Electrocardiograph Service Manual Cleaning, Care and Maintenance
8.1 Cleaning
CAUTION
Turn off the power before cleaning and disinfection. The mains supply must be switched
off if it is used.
The surfaces of the main unit and the patient cable can be wiped with a clean soft
cloth damped in soapy water or non-caustic neutral detergent. After that, remove
detergent remainder with a clean dry cloth.
Remove the remainder gel from the electrodes with a clean soft cloth first. Take
suction bulbs and metal cups of chest electrodes apart, and take clamps and metal
parts of limb electrodes apart. Clean them in warm water and make sure there is no
remainder gel. Dry the electrodes with a clean dry cloth or air dry naturally.
Dirty and soiled thermal print head will deteriorate the printing definition. So it should
be cleaned at least once a month regularly.
Open the recorder casing and remove the paper. Wipe the print head gently with a
clean soft cloth damped in 75% alcohol. For stubborn stain, soak it with a little alcohol
first and wipe it off with a clean soft cloth. After air drying, load the recorder paper
and shut the recorder casing.
CAUTION
1 Prevent the detergent from seeping into the main unit while cleaning. Do not immerse
the unit or the patient cable into liquid under any circumstances.
2 Do not clean the unit and accessories with abrasive fabric and avoid scratching the

ECG-12 Series Electrocardiograph Service Manual Cleaning, Care and Maintenance
electrodes.
8.2 Disinfection
Before disinfection, clean the equipment first. Then wipe the surfaces of the unit and
the patient cable with hospital standard disinfectant.
Note: Clean and disinfect the chest and limb electrodes after each use.
CAUTION
1) Capacity Identification
The current capacity of the rechargeable battery can be identified according to the
battery symbol in the top right corner of the LCD screen.
: Full capacity;
: 2/3 capacity;
: 1/3 capacity;
: Low capacity
2) Recharge
The ECG-12 Series Electrocardiograph is equipped with the recharge control circuit
together with the built-in rechargeable lithium battery. When the unit is connected to
the mains supply, the battery will be recharged automatically. Then the battery
recharging indicator ( ) and the mains supply indicator ( ) will be lit at the same
time. During the recharging course, the symbol flashes in the top right corner of
the LCD screen. After the battery is fully recharged, the symbol stops flashing, and
the battery recharging indicator ( ) is black.
Because of the capacity consumption during the storage and transport course, the
- 60 -
ECG-12 Series Electrocardiograph Service Manual Cleaning, Care and Maintenance
battery capacity is not full when it is used for the first time. Battery recharge should
be considered before the first use.
3) Replacement
When the useful life of the battery is over, or foul smell and leakage are found,
please contact the manufacturer or the local distributor for replacement.
WARNING
1. Only qualified service engineers authorized by the manufacturer can open the battery
compartment and replace the battery, and the battery of the same model and
specification provided by the manufacturer must be used.
2. Danger of explosion -- Do not reverse the anode and the cathode when installing the
battery.
3. When the battery’s useful life is over, contact the manufacturer or the local distributor
for disposal or dispose of the battery according to local regulations.
Note: Recorder paper provided by the manufacturer should be used. Other paper may
shorten the life of the thermal print head. The deteriorated print head may lead
to illegible ECG reports and block the advance of the paper.
Storage Requirements:
♦ Recorder paper should be stored in a dry, dark and cool area, avoiding
excessive temperature, humidity and sunshine.
♦ Do not put the recorder paper under fluorescence for a long time.
♦ Make sure that there is no polyvinyl chloride or other chemicals in the storage
environment, which will lead to color change of the paper.
♦ Do not overlap the recorder paper for a long time, or else the ECG reports may
trans-print each other.
