                to ensure recovery, as required by test standards. The patient signal input of the
                acquisition module is defibrillation-proof. It is not necessary to remove the ECG
                electrodes prior to defibrillation.

2109599-003 A                                   MAC™ 7 Resting ECG Analysis System                                      5


Regulatory Information




                When using stainless steel or silver electrodes, a defibrillator discharge current may
                cause the electrodes to retain a residual charge causing a polarization or DC offset
                voltage. This electrode polarization blocks acquisition of the ECG signal. To avoid this
                condition, if there is a situation where a defibrillation procedure is necessary, use
                non-polarizing electrodes such as silver/silver-chloride types, which do not form a DC
                offset voltage when subjected to a DC current.
                If you use polarizing electrodes, GE Healthcare recommends disconnecting the
                leadwires from the patient before delivering the shock.
                Electrode defibrillation recovery is the ability of the electrode to allow the ECG trace
                to return after defibrillation. GE Healthcare recommends using non-polarizing
                disposable electrodes with defibrillation recovery rating as specified in AAMI
                EC12.5.2.2.4. AAMI EC12 requires that the polarization potential of an electrode pair
                does not exceed 100 mV 5 seconds after a defibrillation discharge.
                Refer to the supplies and accessories guide for this system for a list of approved
                electrodes.


Modulating Effects in Digital Systems
                This section describes the modulating effects that may occur in digital systems of the
                product.
                This device uses digital sampling techniques that may produce some variation in
                amplitudes of Q, R, and/or S waves from one heart beat to the next, which may be
                particularly noticeable in pediatric recordings. If you observe this phenomenon,
                be aware that the origin of amplitude variations is not entirely physiological. For
                measuring voltages of Q, R, and S waves, GE Healthcare advises using the QRS
                complexes with the largest deflection of the particular waves.


Biocompatibility
                The parts of the system described in this manual that come into contact with the
                patient during the intended use, including all accessories, fulfill the biocompatibility
                requirements of the applicable standards. If you have questions in this matter contact
                your GE Healthcare representative.


Legal Notice
                GE Healthcare software contains several fields that can be populated before
                performing an ECG. Some of these fields are required, others are optional and
                left to the user to assess whether they are needed to perform the exam. The field
                Race is one of these optional fields. Race has been acknowledged by the medical
                profession as useful to analyze some pathologies. You should be aware that, in some
                jurisdictions, the processing of data revealing an individual’s racial origin is subject
                to legal requirements, such as obtaining the patient’s prior consent. If you elect to

                  may cause the electrodes to retain a residual charge after defibrillation. A residual
                  charge blocks acquisition of the ECG signal.
                   Whenever patient defibrillation is a possibility, use non-polarizing electrodes
                   (silver-silver chloride construction) for ECG monitoring.

                CAUTION:
                  EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
                   Devices intended for emergency application must not be exposed to low
                   temperatures during storage and transport to avoid moisture condensation at the
                   application site. Wait until all moisture has vaporized before using the device.
