Certification Information Table 2: Certification Information This system bears CE mark 0197 indicating it conforms with the provisions of Council Regulation EU 2017/745 concerning medical devices, and it fulfills the requirements of Annex I of this regulation. The system is in radio-interference protection class B in accordance with EN 55011. The country of manufacture is indicated on the equipment labeling. The product complies with the requirements of standard EN 60601-1-2 “Electromagnetic Compatibility – Medical Electrical Equipment”. The medical device has a lifetime of 7 years with respect to the Council Regulation EU 2017/745 Annex I, Requirement 6. Medical Equipment With respect to electric shock, fire, and mechanical hazards only in accordance with IEC 60601-1, and CAN/CSA C22.2 NO. 601.1.
Recording ECGs during Defibrillation This equipment is protected against the effects of cardiac defibrillator discharge 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. 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

MAC™ 7 Resting ECG Analysis System
2109599-003F
Regulatory Information
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 collect this type of data, it is your responsibility to make sure that you comply with all applicable legal requirements.

Safety Information
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION - Any attempt by unauthorized personnel to service the device could result in equipment malfunction and void the warranty. This equipment contains no user-serviceable parts. Please contact the authorized service personnel to service the device. NOTICE: EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY - Compatibility is critical to safe and effective use of this device. Please contact your local sales or service representative prior to installation to verify equipment compatibility. WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY-STUMBLING HAZARD - Patients can become entangled in the cables and leadwires connected to the device, which could cause the patient to stumble or trip. Route cables and leadwires in a way to avoid creating a stumbling hazard: keep them off the floor, and route leadwires away from the patient’s legs and the healthcare provider’s work area. WARNING: MAGNETIC AND ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE - Magnetic and electric fields can interfere with the acquisition of ECG readings. Make sure that all peripheral components operated in the vicinity of the device comply with the relevant EMC requirements. X-ray equipment, MRI devices, radio systems (cellular phones) and so forth, are possible sources of interference because they may emit higher levels of electromagnetic radiation. Verify the performance of the system before use. WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD - Using this device in the presence of anesthetic vapors or liquids can cause explosions. Do not use this device in the presence of anesthetic vapors or liquids. Only persons with adequate training in the correct use of this device may use this device. CAUTION: EQUIPMENT FAILURE - Polarizing electrodes (stainless steel or silver constructed) 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. WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY - Contact with patients during defibrillation can cause serious injury or death. Do not contact patients during defibrillation. Patient signal inputs labeled with the CF symbols with paddles are protected against damage resulting from defibrillation voltages. To ensure proper defibrillator protection, use only GE 12

CAUTION: EXPLOSION HAZARD - Do NOT use in the presence of flammable anesthetics vapors or liquids. WARNING: INTERPRETATION HAZARD - Results of the automated QT analysis are not considered a diagnosis. A qualified physician or cardiologist must review and confirm the measurements and waveforms recorded by the system. It should be used only as an adjunct to the clinical history, symptoms, and results of other tests. WARNING: INTERPRETATION HAZARD - Computerized interpretation is only significant when used in conjunction with clinical findings. A qualified physician must overread all computer-generated tracings. WARNING: IMPROPER USE - This is a prescriptive device. This equipment is intended for use by or under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner. NOTICE: BATTERY EXPLOSION HAZARD - Batteries may explode in fires. Do not dispose of the battery by fire or burning. Follow local environmental guidelines concerning disposal and recycling.
