Product Overview
DL700 Holter Monitor

1. Description
The DL700 Holter Recorder is a battery operated solid state recorder
designed for 24 hour continuous recording of ambulatory ECG data. It is an
AAMI Type I device, which is part of a conventional AECG monitoring
system where the ECG is recorded on a removable Flash memory card in the
DL700. After the ECG data has been recorded, the memory card is removed
from the DL700 and inserted in a Flash Card Reader which is part of the
Computer Analysis System on which the ECG will finally be analyzed. The
Flash memory card used in the DL700 is the same as some PCMCIA
memory cards used in laptop computers.
Batteries and Receptacle
The DL700 provides a battery compartment with secure receptacles for
inserting two standard AA alkaline batteries. A polarity guard feature is
built in to prevent damage in case the batteries are installed incorrectly.
Cover Labeling
The label on the outside of the cover provides information about the
company supplying the recorder while the label on the inside of the cover
provides Patient Hook-up and Recording Start/Stop instructional
information.
Digital Clock
A digital LCD clock is mounted into the front panel to provide both time
and date for patient convenience.
Clock Battery
The digital clock is powered by a Duracell silver oxide 392B, 1.5V battery
or its equivalent. For instructions on battery replacement, refer to the
Maintenance Section.
Clock Set Controls
The clock set controls are used to set the date and time. Time can be set in
hours and minutes.

obtained on each ECG channel immediately after connecting the electrodes
to the patient. This test should be done prior to allowing the patient to leave
the clinic.
