ii Eclipse Operating Instructions
Intended Use WARNING: The Eclipse should not be connected to nonmedical equipment unless the non-medical equipment complies with IEC 601-1. In addition, the enclosure leakage current of non-medical equipment connected to the Eclipse should not be allowed to exceed 500µA in fault condition. To maintain a proper enclosure leakage current, provide additional protective earth grounding, use an additional isolating transformer or use a ßoating power supply. WARNING: The Eclipse and any non-medical equipment that it is connected to should not be allowed within the patientÕs vicinity, which extends 6 feet (1.83 m) beyond the perimeter of the bed, table or chair, and 7 1/2 feet (2.29 m) above the ßoor. WARNING: NEVER create a direct connection between an Eclipse and a PYRAMIS computer if the Eclipse is already connected to a patient. Under the supervision of a qualiÞed physician trained in the subject of ECG interpretation, the Eclipse 850 and Eclipse Plus can be used to record the electrical activity of the heart for the purpose of correlating the resultant waveforms with the health of the heart muscle tissue structures. This equipment produces a 12 lead (view) electrocardiogram which can be used as a Þrst step for assessment of patients with cardiac arrythmias, intraventricular conduction block, pre-excitation syndrome and ischemic heart disease. Records stored and used during the life of the patient can assist physicians in the diagnosis and natural history of heart related illnesses (such as coronary artery disease). With appropriate support equipment, the Eclipse 850 can also be used in the evaluation of exercise induced ischemia of the heart typically referred to as an exercise stress test. The resultant electrical activity of the heart can be recorded as a 12 lead and further analyzed for ischemic episodes. This equipment is not designed to produce a deÞnitive interpretation nor an exhaustive evaluation of the patientÕs heart but rather provide an effective beginning for evaluation of patients with heart abnormalities.

Interpretive Analysis Program
Interpretive Analysis Program About the program The Eclipse is available with an interpretive analysis program. This program is widely respected as one of the most accurate available today. It was developed by Prof. Peter MacFarlane of the Glasgow Royal InÞrmary who has been involved in computerized ECG interpretation since its inception in the 1960s. The ECG Interpretation Criteria PhysicianÕs Guide is included with the Operating Instructions. This guide outlines the criteria used by the analysis program.
Features of the interpretive analysis program l
DEVELOPED IN A HOSPITAL ENVIRONMENT The interpretive program was developed in the University Department of Medical Cardiology in the Glasgow Royal InÞrmary. Unlike many products which are developed with the aid of outside consultants, this program was developed in the environment for which it is intended.
l
USES AGE, SEX AND RACE DATA EXTENSIVELY More than 500 measurements, plus the patientÕs age, sex, race, clinical classiÞcation and medications are factored into each analysis. Several criteria for abnormalities are age, race and sex dependent. Race, for example is key in identifying hypertrophy and T-wave abnormalities.
l
USES CLINICAL HISTORY The program is the Þrst to use clinical class as an integral part of analysis just as a physician would consider clinical class in his or her evaluation.
l
UNDER CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT & ENHANCEMENT The program has been clinically tested against more than 80,000 ECGs and is continuously under development.
l
ACCURATELY DETECTS NORMAL ECGs Normal ECGs are easily identiÞed and sorted so the physician may quickly verify results.

Chapter 1 General Information
Safety Features WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Do NOT contact unit or patient during deÞbrillation. Otherwise, serious injury or death could result. WARNING: NEVER position deÞbrillator paddles very close to or over ECG sensors. Remove all chest sensors (V-Leads/ C-Leads) from a patient before deÞbrillation to allow proper paddle placement. Severe burns may result from improper placement of deÞbrillator paddles. Before using any deÞbrillator, consult the operating instructions for that equipment. Includes a 3-conductor, hospital-grade power cable. Includes an electrically isolated, DB-15 style patient cable. This conforms to IEC safety, pinout and mechanical requirements. This symbol which appears on the rear panel, indicates this equipment meets the requirements of Council Directive 93/42/EEC, MDD, Class IIa. This symbol next to the patient cable connector indicates this equipment is classiÞed as deÞbrillation-protected, Type CF equipment. The patient cable and input circuits are designed to prevent damage to the recorder if the unit is connected to a patient during deÞbrillation.
Using Multiple Electrical Apparatus Use caution when monitoring patients who must be protected from very small electrical currents. Susceptible patients include patients with cardiac catheters or pacemakers. Consult a qualiÞed technician before using multiple electrical apparatus in this patient environment. The Eclipse patient leads are electrically isolated from ground and the device meets the most stringent IEC and ANSI/AAMI medical standards for leakage currents. However, a potential hazard may occur if the enclosure leakage currents from multiple pieces of equipment combine and are inadvertently routed directly to a patientÕs heart via a catheter or pacemaker lead. Only equipment which is certiÞed to IEC and ANSI/AAMI medical standards should be used in this environment. Use of certiÞed equipment does not, however, completely eliminate this possible hazard. Another potential hazard may occur if two devices near a patient are powered from different circuits. If the grounds of the two circuits are at different potentials, which can occur under certain fault conditions, then a ground loop can exist between the enclosures of the two devices. If devices must be powered from separate circuits in the vicinity of a susceptible patient, then the grounding lugs on the devices should be electrically connected via an equipotential cable. Please also consult Chapter 2, ÒEquipment Setup.Ó

Chapter 2 Equipment Setup
Equipment Setup Grounding WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Operate the unit from its battery supply if the integrity of the protective earth conductor is in doubt. Otherwise, serious injury or death could result. Maximum patient and operator safety is ensured only when the Eclipse is properly grounded. To do this, connect the power cable to the AC Power connector (see Figure 2-1 on pg. 2-2) and connect the other end to a properly grounded, AC line outlet.
Using the Battery (Eclipse 850) The battery that is shipped with the Eclipse 850 has been charged at the factory. When battery power is being used, the message ÒBATTERYÓ is displayed. When the unit is connected to AC line power, the message ÒAC ONÓ is displayed. When fewer than 15 minutes of operating time remain, the message ÒLOW BATTERYÓ ßashes and the unit beeps every 30 seconds. If the battery charge level drops too low, the unit displays the message, ÒPOWERING DOWN.Ó Then, after 5 seconds, the unit shuts off. Connect the unit to AC line power at this point to operate the unit and recharge the battery (the battery fully recharges in about 5 hours). NOTE: Under extreme conditions, the unit may not have enough battery power to power up. If the unit beeps 3 times or displays the message, ÒBattery Low-Please ChargeÓ when powering up, then plug the unit into AC line power and recharge the battery for 5 hours.
