1.2 Expected use
The Electrocardiographs manufactured by CardioTécnica are electromedical equipment
designed to carry out complementary studies for the clinical diagnosis of cardiac conditions,
capable of recording the action potentials of the cardiac tissue, one patient at a time, using a
patient cable.
It has been designed to be used in neonatal, pediatric and adult patients in hospitals, hospital-
type centers. The use of the equipment is intended for health professionals or institutions.
Electrocardiographs must be operated In person and attended by health professionals
trained in the operation of electrocardiographs, with the supervision of a specialist in
cardiology.
Connected exclusively to the electrical network installation of class 2A medical
environments, in accordance with Regulation 90364-7-710 of the AEA, or the IEC 60364-7-
710 standard; or battery.
Supported on flat, stable surfaces with an inclination of less than 5º.
The air of the environment of use of the device:
must be free of anesthetic gases,
must be free of flammable gases,
must not be enriched with oxygen,
it must have a temperature between 10ºC and 40ºC,
must have a non-condensing relative humidity between 25% and 95%,

1.4 Function and Purpose of the Electrocardiograph
Electrocardiography detects and graphs the electrical potentials generated by the cells of the
heart tissue; that precede and give rise to the systolic and diastolic mechanical activity of the
heart.
Cardiac electrical activity generates weak ionic currents physiologically conducted to the
surface of the skin, where they are sensed with contact electrodes, at different points on the
body surface.
The sensed cardiac signals vary between 100µV and 5mV, and are amplified and conditioned
to represent them temporarily on a Cartesian graph called an electrocardiogram or ECG.
The particularities of the waveform of the cardiac electrical signal represented in the ECG
depend on the sensing point and the adopted reference.
The ECG allows the cardiology specialist to detect anomalies in the cardiac signal waveform,
correlate them with possible pathologies, and, with complementary tests, confirm them by
analyzing characteristic symptoms and signs, to establish a clinical diagnosis and an
associated treatment.

transmission, power supply, ground connection) before using the equipment.
Keep equipment and accessories clean and disinfected.
Periodically check the operation.
Carry out annual preventive maintenance (verification, adjustments and calibration),
through the official technical service. Since the safety and reliable operation of the
electrocardiograph are important, maintenance is vital.
If it is necessary to electrically connect a patient to more than one equipment, a technical
manager must evaluate and authorize the operation of the complete system, analyzing the
new particular risks of the system, analyzing the recognized risks specific to each
equipment, and respecting the IEC60601-1 standards. and IEC60601-1-1. Bear in mind that
the total patient leakage current of the system is not the direct (algebraic) sum of the
leakage currents particular to each equipment.
Place the electrodes in the correct position, on the skin, without contact with mucous
membranes, body fluids, injured tissue, oil, villi or dirt.
