result might not be consistent with what doctors diagnose. Therefore, the final

conclusion must be made after the doctor has performed overall analysis and

diagnosis in combination with analysis result, clinical manifestation and other test

results.

 When there is huge myoelectric or power current interference, identifications of P-

wave and Q-wave are not reliable sometimes. Due to baseline drift, identifications of

waves in ST and T segment might be unreliable.

 End positions of S-wave and T-wave are displayed squiggly and unclear, which will

cause measurement errors sometimes.

 When R-wave is missed due to QRS low voltage, there might be a huge error in HR

measurement.

 Under QRS low voltage, measurement of cardiac electrical axis and identification of

QRS-wave cut-off point are unreliable sometimes. When Ventricular Premature

Contraction (VPC) happens frequently, even occasionally, it will also be detected as

cardiac activity. When many types of arrhythmias are combined, P-wave is difficult to

technicians.

CAUTION

 For accidents or damage caused by lack of necessary maintenance, Zoncare will not

assume any responsibility.

3.3 Battery Usage & Maintenance

3.3.1 Overview
This ECG machine is configured with rechargeable lithium-ion battery, making sure that it

works normally while moving in the yard or power cut. When the power is cut suddenly, the

system uses the battery to supply the ECG machine automatically, thus the machine won’t stop

working. .

CAUTION

 In order to prevent the machine from working interruption caused by sudden power

failure, we suggest the user to always install a full-charged battery in it.

 When ECG machine is supplied by battery, if the battery is short of power, the

machine will crash with black screen. This normal phenomenon could be eliminated

by connection with AC power or charging the battery.

3.3.2 Battery Charging

When ECG machine is connected with AC power, no matter it is turned on or off, the battery

will be charged. When the battery is being charged, its light will be lit. Once fully charged, the

light will go out

63
When charging the battery with the ECG machine turned off, in the environment temperature

range of 25℃±5℃, the battery is charged to 90% for no more than 3 hours, and charged to 100%

for no more than 3.5 hours.

3.3.3 Battery Replacement

While replacing the battery in ECG machine, please turn off the cart power switch, unplug

the power cord and confirm that lights with icons “ ”, “ ” are off. Open the battery

compartment door at bottom of the machine, and then replace a new dedicated rechargeable

battery. Before inserting battery leads, please be sure that the battery is properly connected with

the polarity “+” and “-”of corresponding terminals.

Batteries are consumables, whose life is associated with the times of charging and

discharging circulation. It’s suggested that professional maintainers replace the built-in battery

every 24 months. Please dispose the used battery according to local laws and regulations.

3.3.4 Battery Guidelines


The battery’s life depends on its usage frequency and time. If the lithium-ion battery is

properly maintained and stored, its life will last for about 3 years. If not properly used, its life will

be shortened. We suggest replacing the battery every three years. In order to guarantee the

battery’s life, please pay attention to the following guidelines:

 The battery’s performance must be inspected once a year. Even before repairing the ECG

machine or when the battery is suspected to be faulty, the battery’s performance should be

inspected.

 When the battery has been used or stored for three months or its working time obviously

shortens, optimize it once.

 Before the ECG machine is shipped, or not used for more than 3 months, please remove its
battery.

 If the ECG machine has not been used for a long time without removing the battery, the

battery’s life will shorten. The battery should be charged and discharged at least once every

three months.

64
 When the li-on battery is laid aside with 50% of its full power, it can be stored for about 6

months. After 6 months, the battery must be charged again to full power, and then use it to

supply ECG machine. When its power reduces to 50% of the full power, take it out of ECG

machine and lay it aside again.

 While storing the battery, please make sure that its electrodes do not touch mental objects. If

the battery needs to be stored for a long time, put it in a cool environment, which can delay

battery aging. Ideally, the battery should be stored in a cool environment whose temperature

is 15℃. If the battery is placed in high heat for a long time, its life will obviously shorten. Do

not store the battery in the environment whose temperature is not within the range of -20 ℃~

60℃.

CAUTION

 Place the battery in a place out of children’s reach.

 Use the battery designated by manufacturers.

 If the battery has the signs of damage and leak, please replace it immediately. Don’t

use faulty battery in ECG machine.

3.3.5 Battery Maintenance

Battery Performance Optimization

The battery should be optimized for its initial use. A complete optimization period refers to

that, continuously charge the battery to full power, and then discharge it until the ECG machine

shuts down. During use, the battery should be optimized to sustain its life every year.

Please optimize the battery by following steps:

1. Disconnect ECG machine with the patient;

2. Connect ECG machine with AC power, continuously charge the battery till it is fully

charged, and then the light goes out.

3. Disconnect AC power, and supply ECG machine by battery until it shuts down

4. Connect ECG machine with AC power again, and continuously charge the battery to full

power, then the light goes out.

65
CAUTION

 As the time of using the battery increases, its actual power capacity will decrease. For

the used battery, full-power icon indicates that neither its power capacity nor supply

time can still meet the manufacturer’s specification. While optimizing, if you find that

the battery’s supply time shortens obviously, please replace it.

Battery Performance Inspection

Battery performance will degrade as times of using the battery increase, thus it should be

inspected once a year. Even before repairing the ECG machine or when the battery is suspected to

be fault cause, the battery’s performance should be inspected.

Please inspect the battery according to the following steps:

1. Disconnect ECG machine with the patient

2. Connect ECG machine with AC power, and constantly charge the battery to full power,

then the light goes out.

3. Disconnect AC power, supply ECG machine by battery until it shuts down.

The Battery’s supply time reflects its performance. After announced charging time, if its

supply time is obviously lower than the time declared in specification, please contact the

maintainer to replace the battery.

CAUTION

 If the battery’s supply time is too short after fully charged, it might be damaged or

faulty. Its supply time depends on the machine’s configuration and operation.

3.3.6 Battery Recycle


If the battery is obviously damaged or cannot store power, it should be replaced and recycled

properly. When disposing the old battery, please follow relevant laws and regulations.

WARNING

 Do not dismantle the battery or throw it into fire or short it out. Its burning, explosion

66
or leakage may cause personal injury.

3.4 Paper Usage and Maintenance

Please follow the principles below while storing the paper:

 Store it in cool and dry environment, and prevent it from high temperature, humidity and

direct sunlight.

 Do not put it in fluorescent light

 Do not contact it with polyvinyl chloride (PCC), which will cause its color change.

 Do not store the used paper overlaid, which may cause the printed contents transferring with

each other.

 Using the paper provided by Zoncare or of specification designated by Zoncare. Otherwise it

may shorten thermal recorder head’s life, recorded waveforms will become fuzzy and the

paper will feed poorly.

3.5 Maintenance of Electrodes and Lead Wires

Conduction of each branch of lead wires will directly affect recorded ECG. If it conducts

poorly (any one branch conducts poorly), it will cause virtual image of corresponding lead wire on

recorded ECG. Therefore the lead wires’ conduction must be inspected regularly, which is

suggested once a month.

Slightly bending or entangling the lead wires will shorten their life. Please keep them in good

order as possible before use.

Electrodes must be properly stored. After long-term use, their surfaces may become oxidized

and discolored because of corrosion, at this moment, it’s better to replace them.
