Norav User Guide The ECG-USB1 device provides a single channel ECG for host systems that require an external unit in order to add ECG\Respiration capabilities in an easy and fast way to their platform. The host owner should write its own software application that communicates with the device via USB port using the Norav USB driver and SDK. The device has no contraindications or adverse effects. Connect the ECG-USB1 only to a system that is isolated from the electric power supply. It is also sensitive to electrical interference. To prevent possible injury, read this page carefully prior to installing...

Norav Users Guide Cautions refer to practices necessary to protect against potential damage or loss to equipment. 1. Connect the standard A-type plug of the USB cable (Figure 2, detail 1) to the USB connector of the host. 2. Connect the Mini-B type USB plug of the USB cable (Figure 2, detail 2) to the input of the ECG-USB1 acquisition device (Figure 1, detail 1). 3. Connect plug of detachable patient cable (Figure 4, detail 3) to the round connector on ECG-USB1 (Figure 1, detail 2) 4. Apply the leads to the patient (Right Arm, Left Arm and Right Leg) according to their markings (R(RA), L(LA)...

Norav Users Guide The ECG traces quality depends very much on the stability and conductivity of the electrodes during the test, especially during high stages when the patient movements can cause artifacts. Here are some basic rules to ensure good electrical contact: 0 Shave hair at the electrode contact points 0 Use high quality liquid gel electrodes 0 Make sure that the lead wires do not swing Attach the leads as shown in Figure 5. Use the detachable ECG 3-lead cable, each lead 100 cm long, with clip connectors at the patient end, designed for use with disposable ECG electrodes. Figure 5: Electrode...

Norav Users Guide Refer to Appendix B for examples of improper patient preparation results. The device is not waterproof. Do not expose the device to water or any kind of liquid. Maintain in a dry place. The exterior of the Recorder may be wiped clean with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning agents to clean the unit. Do not immerse the unit in any liquid. Clean the cables with a hospital approved cleaning procedure such as those recommended by AAMI or AORN. Wiping the cables with a solution of soap and water followed by a rinse with water is a simple yet effective method to clean the cables....

Norav Users Guide APPENDIX A: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Norav Users Guide “Noise” refers to any degradation of the ECG signal that makes it difficult to accurately detect and classify beats. Causes of noise, such as artifact and electrical interference, should be avoided whenever possible. Some common causes of noisy ECG signals include: • Poor skin prep. • Muscle artifact caused by shivering, movement or tremors. • Baseline wander caused by excessive chest movement, or the electrical differences between two brands of electrodes. • Respiration artifact caused by thoracic or abdominal movement of both spontaneous and ventilated breathing patterns....
