Caution: Means there is the possibility of damage to the device.
Note: Provides information to further assist in the use of the device.
Warning(s)
• This manual gives important information about the use and safety of this device. Deviating from operating
procedures, misuse or misapplication of the device, or ignoring specifications and recommendations could
result in increased risk of harm to users, patients and bystanders, or damage to the device.
• Device captures and presents data reflecting a patient’s physiological condition that when reviewed by a trained
physician or clinician can be useful in determining a diagnosis; however, the data should not be used as a sole
means for determining a patient’s diagnosis.
• Users are expected to be licensed clinical professionals knowledgeable about medical procedures and patient
care, and adequately trained in the use of this device. Before attempting to use this device for clinical
applications, the operator must read and understand the contents of the user manual and other accompanying
documents. Inadequate knowledge or training could result in increased risk of harm to users, patients and
bystanders, or damage to the device. Contact Mortara service for additional training options.
• To ensure that electrical safety is maintained during operation from AC (~) power, the device must be plugged
into a hospital-grade outlet.
• Only use parts and accessories supplied with the device and/or available through Mortara Instrument, Inc.
• Patient cables intended for use with the device include series resistance (9 Kohm minimum) in each lead for
defibrillation protection. Patient cables should be checked for cracks or breakage prior to use.
• Conductive parts of the patient cable, electrodes, and associated connections of type CF applied parts, including
the neutral conductor of the patient cable and electrodes, should not come into contact with other conductive
parts including earth ground.
• ECG electrodes could cause skin irritation; patients should be examined for signs of irritation or inflammation.
• To avoid the possibility of serious injury or death during patient defibrillation, do not come into contact with
device or patient cables. Additionally, proper placement of defibrillator paddles in relation to the electrodes is
required to minimize harm to the patient.
v
• This device was designed to use the electrodes specified in this manual. Proper clinical procedure must be
employed to prep the electrode sites and to monitor the patient for excessive skin irritation, inflammation, or
other adverse reactions. Electrodes are intended for short-term use and should be removed from the patient
promptly following testing.
• To avoid potential for spread of disease or infection, single-use disposable components (e.g., electrodes) must
not be reused. To maintain safety and effectiveness, electrodes must not be used beyond their expiration date.
• A possible explosion hazard exists. Do not use the device in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture.
• Where the integrity of external protective earth conductor arrangement is in doubt, the device shall be operated
from its internal electrical power source.
• To improve immunity to potential interfering electromagnetic signals, shielded cabling is recommended when
connecting the device to a network.
• Medical devices have been designed to have a higher degree of protection against electric shock than, for
instance, information technology equipment because patients often are connected to multiple devices and also
may be more prone to the adverse effect of electric currents than healthy persons. All equipment that is
connected to the patient, can be touched by the patient, or can be touched by another person while that person
touches the patient at the same time, should have the same level of protection against electric shock as medical
equipment. The ELI 150c and ELI 250c are medical devices that have been designed to be connected to other
devices for the purpose of receiving and transmitting data. Certain measures must be taken to prevent the risk of
excessive electric current flow through the operator or patient when connected:
• All electrical equipment that is not medical electrical equipment must be placed outside of the “patient
environment,” defined by applicable safety standards to be at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) from the patient.
Alternatively, non-medical equipment may be provided with additional protection such as an additional
protective earth connection.
• All medical electrical equipment that has a physical connection to the ELI 150c/ELI 250c or the patient,
or is in the patient environment must comply with applicable safety standards for medical electrical
devices.
• All electrical equipment that is not medical electrical equipment and has a physical connection to the
ELI 150c/ELI 250c must comply with applicable safety standards, such as IEC 60950 for information
technology equipment. This includes information network equipment connected through the LAN
connector.
• Conductive (metal) parts that can be touched by the operator in normal use and that are connected to non-
medical equipment should not be brought into the patient environment. Examples are connectors for
shielded Ethernet or USB cables.
• If multiple devices are connected to each other or to the patient, device chassis and patient leakage currents
may be increased, and should be measured for compliance with applicable standards for medical electrical
systems.
• Avoid the use of portable multiple socket outlets. If used and not compliant with medical electrical
device standards, an additional protective earth connection is required.
• After defibrillation pulse, electrocardiograph has a maximum recovery time of 5 seconds.
vi
• To prevent electric shock due to unequal ground potentials that may exist between points of a distributed
network system or fault conditions in external network connected equipment, network cable shielding
(where used) must be connected to protective earth ground appropriate to the area where the device is used.
• The device has not been designed for use with high-frequency (HF) surgical equipment and does not provide a
protective means against hazards to the patient.
• When the 40 Hz filter is used, the frequency response requirement for diagnostic ECG equipment cannot be
met. The 40 Hz filter significantly reduces high-frequency components of the ECG and pacemaker spike
amplitudes, and is recommended only if high-frequency noise cannot be reduced by proper procedures.
• The quality of the signal produced by the device may be adversely affected by the use of other medical
equipment, including but not limited to defibrillators and ultrasound machines.
• For proper operation and the safety of users or patients and bystanders, equipment and accessories must be
connected only as described in this manual. Do not connect a telephone line cable to the LAN connector.
• Some Mortara electrocardiographs can be equipped with a GPRS (cellular modem) or wireless LAN (WLAN)
module for transmitting ECG records. Device labeling and the presence of an antenna port will indicate if your
device is equipped with such a module. If so equipped, the following notices apply:
• The GPRS module operates in allocated frequency bands depending on the model. Identification of
the installed GPRS module can be found on a label on the bottom of the device.
• MultiTech Systems, Inc. Model MTSMC-H5: 850/900/1700(AWS)/1900/2100 MHz
• The WLAN identification can be found on a label on the bottom of the device.
• B&B Electronics Model WLNN-AN-MR551: 2400 MHz
(model subject to change without notice)
• Use of the GPRS or WLAN module may interfere with other equipment operating in the vicinity. Check with
local authorities or spectrum management officials in your facility to determine if restrictions apply to the use of
this feature in your area.
• Do not transmit via the GPRS or WLAN module with a missing or damaged antenna. Replace a damaged
antenna immediately.
• Use only the antenna supplied for use with this device. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the GPRS module and may contravene local RF emission regulations or invalidate type approval.
• To ensure compliance with current regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure
to radio frequency radiation, a separation distance of at least 20 cm must be maintained between the device's
antenna and the head and body of the user and any nearby persons at all times. To help prevent degradation of
RF signal and to avoid excess RF energy absorption, do not touch the antenna during data transmission.
• The GPRS and WLAN modules comply with applicable RF safety standards including standards and
recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy that have been established
by governmental bodies and other qualified organizations, such as the following:
• Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
• Directives of the European Community
• Directorate General V in Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy
vii
• Proper functioning backup items such as spare lead wires, front-end device, and other equipment are
recommended on hand to prevent delayed treatment due to an inoperable device.

as this may damage equipment or reduce its usable life. Wipe the exterior surfaces with a warm water and mild
detergent solution and then dry with a clean cloth. Use of unspecified cleaning/disinfecting agents, failure to
follow recommended procedures, or contact with unspecified materials could result in increased risk of harm to
users, patients and bystanders, or damage to the device.
• No user-serviceable parts inside. Screw removal by qualified service personnel only. Damaged or suspected
inoperative equipment must be immediately removed from use and must be checked/repaired by qualified
service personnel prior to continued use.
• The rechargeable internal battery is a sealed lead-acid type and it is totally maintenance free. If the battery
appears to become defective, refer to Mortara Instrument Service Department.
• Do not pull or stretch patient cables as this could result in mechanical and/or electrical failures. Patient cables
should be stored after forming them into a loose loop.
• No calibration or special equipments are needed for the proper operation or maintenance of the device.
● When necessary, dispose of the device, its components and accessories (e.g., batteries, cables, electrodes),

Note(s)
• Patient movements may generate excessive noise that may affect the quality of the ECG traces and the proper
analysis performed by the device.
• Proper patient preparation is important to proper application of ECG electrodes and operation of the device.
• The algorithm detecting electrode misplacements is based on normal physiology and ECG lead order, and tries
to identify the most likely switch; however, it is advisable to check the other electrode positions in the same
group (limb or chest).
• There is no known safety hazard if other equipment, such as pacemakers or other stimulators, is used
simultaneously with the device; however, disturbance to the signal may occur.
• A square wave presentation on the display while using the WAM may be due to the WAM being turned off,
having no battery, not being paired correctly, operating out of range, or due to a calibration error. Review the
LED indicator on the WAM to ensure the unit is turned on, has proper battery level, is paired correctly, and is
within recommended proximity of the electrocardiograph, or power cycle the WAM to re-calibrate.
ix
• A square wave presentation on the display while using the AM12 may be due to improper auto-calibration.
Power cycle the AM12 or the electrocardiograph.
• If electrode is not properly connected to the patient, or one or more of the patient cable lead wires is damaged,
display will indicate a lead fault for the lead(s) where the condition is present and if the signal is being printed,
the respective lead(s) will print out as a square wave.
• As defined by IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-25, the device is classified as follows:
• Class I equipment or internally powered.
• Type CF defibrillation-proof applied parts.
• Ordinary equipment.
• Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture.
• Continuous operation.
NOTE: From a safety perspective, per IEC 60601-1 and derivative standards/norms, this device is
declared to be “Class I” and uses a three-prong inlet to ensure an earth connection is made along with
mains. The ground terminal on the mains inlet is the only protective earth point in the device. Exposed
metal accessible during normal operation is double insulated from mains. Internal connections to earth
ground are functional earth.
• This device is intended to be used in a hospital or doctor’s office setting, and should be used and stored

CC22.2 No. 601.1, AND IEC60601-2-25
• The device is a member of the ELI 1xx or ELI 2xx Series 2 electrocardiograph family.
x
Wireless Data Transmission
• Some Mortara electrocardiographs can be equipped with an optional wireless data transmission module
(WLAN or GPRS mobile). Both these technologies use radios to transmit data to a Mortara receiving
application. Due to the nature of radio transmissions, it’s possible that, due to the characteristics of the
environment where the device is located, some other RF sources may interfere with the transmission generated
by the device. Mortara Instrument has tested the coexistence of the device with other devices that can interfere
such as devices using WLAN, Bluetooth radio, and/or cell phones. Although the current technology allows a
very successful rate of transmission, it’s possible that in some rare occurrences, the system may not perform at
its best resulting in a “failed transmission.” When this occurs, patient data will not be erased from the device
nor stored in the receiving application, ensuring that partial or corrupted data are not made available to the
receiving station. If the failure mode persists the user should move to a position where the RF signals may
propagate better and allow successful transmissions.
WLAN Option
• Wireless options transmit in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz range. Other nearby wireless devices in the same frequency
range may cause interference. If possible, move or turn off other devices to minimize potential interference.
• The Wireless LAN module used is compliant with the IEEE 802.11 a, b, g and n standards.
• Access Points used should respect IEEE 802.11 standards as well as local Radio Frequency regulations. The
device will scan the available channels and connect to the Access Point on the channel where the SSID that is
configured on the device is available.
xi
• The following table shows the radio channels allocated in different geographic areas in the world. For bands
802.11b and g, only channels 1, 6, 11 and 14 (Japan only) are non-overlapping; for band 802-11a, channels

3. Gently press paper tray spacer in place.
4. Set configuration option to use A4 paper. (See Section 4.)
5. Gently press on the top three plastic arms to remove the paper tray spacer.
16
SECTION 2
Applying Power
1. Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet and into the back of the device. (Reference Figure 1-3.)
2. Press the power ON/OFF button located on the face panel of the device. (Reference Figure 1-5.)
When using AC power, the battery indicator is clear when charging and illuminates in white when fully charged.
When using battery power, the battery indicator illuminates in green with a 35% to 100% charge and in yellow with
a 20% to 35% charge. The battery indicator will turn to red when the battery charge is 20% or less.
The device should be connected to AC power for recharging when not in use.
TIP: Battery voltage is displayed at the bottom of the Time/Date screen.
NOTE: There are configurable features on the device that can be used to help prolong battery life (see
Section 4). Proper battery care and maintenance will also help prolong battery life.
CAUTION: The device can be operated on AC line voltage in the absence of a battery or in the
event of an otherwise fully depleted battery. When line voltage is removed the system immediately and
automatically continues on battery power. When the battery voltage is below 10.5V the device will
automatically power down. Once the battery voltage rises above 10.5V the device may be operated on
battery power. It may require up to 30 hours on AC line voltage to recharge the battery from its lowest
level. Routinely discharging a battery to the lowest level will severely shorten the life of the battery.
NOTE: When the On/Off button is depressed for longer than approximately 10 seconds, the
electrocardiograph will do a "hard reboot" and reset the internal clock to default date and time (1-1-2010)
and advise the user to “Set date/time.” When turned on, the user will need to re-enter the date and time.
This requirement may be bypassed if desired and an ECG can be acquired by selecting F6 (Exit) or
F5 (Save), but this ECG will have the date of 1-1-2010. With the next patient the electrocardiograph will
request the operator to enter the proper time and date again.
Low Battery Conditions
To prevent permanent damage to the internal lead-acid battery, the device will automatically power down when the
battery has been depleted to its lowest allowable level. When the device detects that the battery voltage has been
depleted to this level, it will display the messages “Battery Low – Charge Unit” for 10 seconds before shutting
down. Plugging in the AC cord during this time will cause the unit to return to the main acquisition screen.
If the device is in the ECG acquisition mode when the battery voltage is detected at its lowest allowable level, the
unit will display the message “Battery Low – Charge Unit”, but will not automatically shut down until the user exits
the ECG acquisition mode. This allows the user to complete an ECG already in progress.
17
SECTION 2
Setting Time and Date

1. From real-time ECG view, select F6 (More) followed by F5 (Set Time/Date).
2. Use Enter, Tab, F1 (▲), or F2 (▼) to move through each row. Use the keyboard to type in desired values for
the date and time (using a 24-hour clock).
NOTE: To set time immediately via auto synchronization press F3 (Sync).
3. Use F3 (►) to move through the selections for setting Time Zone and Daylight Savings. To use Daylight
Savings, select Yes. Use F2 (▼) to scroll to, or F4 (Page) to move to the begin/end settings page. Enter the
month, day, and time to begin Daylight Savings and the month, day, and time to end Daylight Savings. Use
F1 (▲), F2 (▼), or F4 (Page) to return to the previous screen. If the time zone selected does not support
Daylight Savings, customize a begin and end time by selecting Custom. The Custom setting can also be used to
override the current Daylight Savings settings
TIP: Use the BKSP key to erase entry errors.
NOTE: F4 (Page) is only applicable to view read only (Yes) or change (Custom) a Daylight Savings setting.
F4 (Page) cannot be accessed from the Time Zone setting field.
4. Select F5 (Save) to save changes before exiting.
5. Select F6 (Cancel) to return to real-time ECG view. If you did not save before selecting Cancel, any changes
made to the time or date will be lost.
NOTE: Date and time may be set to auto synchronization with the cardiology management system if
available. (See section 4, Settings.)
NOTE: In the event of a hard reboot or the loss of battery power, the device will require the date and time
to be re-entered. The device will present a message stating “Set Date/Time.” The user then by depressing
any key (except alt, shift or power) will enter the date and time entry menu. You may bypass this by
selecting F6 (Cancel) or F5 (Save).
Using the WAM or AM12 Acquisition Module

ECG acquisition and rhythm strip printing can also be performed at the WAM or the AM12 acquisition modules.
To use the WAM, refer to the WAM user manual. To use the AM12, refer to the AM12 short-form instruction card.
NOTE: The device must be configured at the factory for use with the WAM. Select F6 (More) followed by
F6 (More) to determine the device’s setting. “WAM Option Not Available” will display if the
device is not configured to work with the WAM.
NOTE: WAM must be paired to electrocardiograph before operation.
Installing the WLAN Antenna

The device with optional WLAN module is shipped with the antenna not installed: the antenna can be found in the
accessory box.
1. Remove the antenna from the accessory box.
2. Locate the antenna connector on the back of the device.
3. Mount the antenna on the connector by rotating the antenna clockwise. The antenna must be finger tight to its
connector.
4. Locate the built-in hinge and fold the antenna (it will now be at a 90° angle); continue to rotate the antenna
clockwise until it is placed vertically. This will guarantee the best signal for the WLAN module.
NOTE: For more information about the use of the WLAN option, refer to Appendix A.

RECORD AN ECG
SECTION 3
Patient Preparation
Before attaching the electrodes, assure the patient fully understands the procedure and what to expect.
• Privacy is very important in assuring the patient is relaxed.
• Reassure the patient that the procedure is painless and that the electrodes on their skin are all that they
will feel.
• Make sure the patient is lying down and is comfortable. If the table is narrow, tuck the patient’s hands
under his/her buttocks to ensure their muscles are relaxed.
• Once all the electrodes are attached, ask the patient to lie still and to not talk. Explain this will assist you in
acquiring a good ECG.
Preparing Patient Skin
Thorough skin preparation is very important. There is natural resistance on the skin surface from various sources
such as hair, oil, and dry, dead skin. Skin preparation is intended to minimize these effects and maximize the quality
of the ECG signal.
To prepare the skin:

• Shave hair from electrode sites if necessary.
• Wash area with warm, soapy water.
• Dry skin vigorously with a pad such as 2 x 2 or 4 x 4 gauze to remove dead skin cells and oil, and to
increase capillary blood flow.
NOTE: With elderly or frail patients take care to not abrade the skin causing discomfort or bruising.
Clinical discretion should always be used in patient preparation.
Patient Hookup
Correct electrode placement is important for acquiring a successful ECG.
A good minimum-impedance pathway will provide superior noise-free waveforms. Good quality silver-silver
chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes should be used.
TIP: Electrodes should be stored in an air-tight container. Electrodes will dry out if not stored properly
which will cause loss of adhesion and conductivity.
To Attach the Electrodes
1. Expose the arms and legs of the patient to attach the limb leads.
2. Place the electrodes on flat, fleshy parts of the arms and legs.
3. If a limb site is not available, place the electrodes on a perfused area of the stump.
4. Attach the electrodes to the skin. A good test for firm electrode contact is to slightly tug on the electrode to
check adhesion. If the electrode moves freely, it needs to be changed. If the electrode does not move
easily, a good connection has been obtained.
19
SECTION 3
For accurate V-lead placement and monitoring, it is important to locate the 4th intercostal space. The 4th intercostal
space is determined by first locating the 1st intercostal space. Because patients vary with respect to body shape, it is
difficult to palpate the 1st intercostal space with accuracy. Thus, locate the 2nd intercostal space by first palpating the
little bony prominence called the Angle of Louis, where the body of the sternum joins the manubrium. This rise
in the sternum identifies where the second rib is attached, and the space just below it is the 2nd intercostal space.
Palpate and count down the chest until you locate the 4th intercostal space.

SECTION 3
Patient Demographic Entry
Patient demographic information can be entered before acquisition. The entered patient ID fields will remain
populated until you acquire the ECG; however, if you disconnect the leads from the patient, turn off the
electrocardiograph, or change a configuration setting before acquisition, the patient information will be cleared.
To access the patient demographic data entry menu, press F1 (ID) from real-time ECG view. Use the appropriate
function key to select the desired study group. The patient demographic labels available are determined by the ID
format selected in the configuration settings. In addition to short or long patient ID formats, the device also supports
a custom ID format. The custom format, designed in ELI Link or an E-Scribe™ data management system, can be
downloaded to the device. Additional information about the custom ID can be found in Appendix A, or in the ELI
Link and E-Scribe user manuals.
Patient demographic entry can be completed manually or automatically using an existing patient record in the
directory. To manually enter the patient demographics, use Enter, Tab, F1 (▲), or F2 (▼) to move to each data
entry field. To enter gender, use F3 (►) to move through the options, or type F or M from the keyboard to change
the gender to female or male. The patient’s date of birth should be entered whenever possible to ensure
interpretation (if set in configuration settings) is as complete as possible.
NOTE: If no age is entered before acquiring an ECG, the interpretation will default to a 40-year old male.
The statement “INTERPRETATION BASED ON A DEFAULT AGE OF 40 YEARS” will be added to the
interpretation text.
NOTE: If an age of zero (0) is used, the interpretation will default to a 6-month old infant. The statement
“INTERPRETATION BASED ON A DEFAULT AGE OF 6 MONTHS” will be added to the interpretation
text.
NOTE: Where global measurement values are not available (i.e., rate, interval, axis), text such as ‘- -‘or
‘*’ or similar will display/print for the unavailable value.
NOTE: Where mandatory fields have been selected (i.e., Name, ID or Tech Initials), the required field will
be highlighted in red.
When done, select F6 (Done). Skipped fields will appear as a blank field on the header of the ECG printout.
To automatically populate the demographics using an existing patient record, select F5 (Dir) from the ID screen.
Use F1 (▼/▲) to navigate by line down the directory list; use  (Shift), F1 (▼/▲) to move up. Similarly, use F2
(▼▼/▲▲) to page down the directory list; use  (Shift), F2 (▼▼/▲▲) to page up. To quickly select a patient
name, use the keyboard to enter the first few letters of the last name. The letters will be displayed in the lower left
corner of the display screen and the desired name will automatically be highlighted. Once the desired name is
highlighted, press F3 (Selec) and the patient ID screen will return with all demographic fields populated. Return to
real-time ECG view by selecting F6 (Done).
TIP: Automatically populating demographic fields via the directory is only possible when the ID formats
are the same between records.
NOTE: A password may be required in order to enter the ECG directory. Obtain the password
from the department Administrator.
NOTE: A red ID label indicates there are no entries in the ID demographics, or a required field is
missing from the selected patient demographics.
21
SECTION 3
Entering Symbols
Punctuation characters, symbols, and/or accented alphanumeric characters (language dependent) can be entered
using the SYM key on the keyboard. Selecting SYM will display 10 special characters at a time. Use F1 (Prev) or
F2 (Next) to move to the previous/next set of special characters.
Each special character will have a numeric character located below it. Using the keyboard, press the desired
numeric key to add the corresponding special character. Select SYM or F6 (Done) to exit the symbol entry mode.
Auto-Fill ID
If Auto-Fill ID is enabled in the configuration, the system will automatically populate the demographic fields in the
ID screen. When the patient ID field is manually populated and followed either by selecting F6 (Done) or F2 (▼),
the system automatically scans the patient directory. If records with the exact patient ID are found, the existing data
is used to fill some of the demographic fields. The auto-fill feature is designed to automatically populate last name,
first name, date of birth, age, and gender only. If no matching records are found, a brief message is displayed and
the user must manually enter the patient’s demographics.
NOTE: In order to avoid the use of incorrect data, the auto-fill feature is only possible when the ID
formats are the same between records.
When time is of the essence or if patient demographics are not available, ID information can be added to the ECG
after it has been acquired via the patient directory. Acquiring an emergency (STAT) or unidentified ECG is
explained in ECG Acquisition, Printing, Storage.
ECG Acquisition, Printing, Storage
Acquisition
Once the patient is connected, the device continuously collects and displays ECG data; therefore, before you press
ECG or RHY you should instruct the patient to relax in a supine position to ensure that the ECG is free from artifact
(noise) due to patient activity. If workflow permits patient demographic entry prior to acquisition, enter the patient
identification information as explained in Patient Demographics. After you complete the last data entry field, select
F6 (Done) to return to the real-time ECG view.
Examine the display for any of the following notification messages:
• Leads Off –displays when patient is not connected.

• Lead Fault –displays faulty lead(s). Re-prep and replace electrode(s) if necessary to obtain satisfactory
waveform(s). (See Patient Preparation.)
• Electrode Wrong Position – displays one of the following when a lead is connected incorrectly or is in the
wrong location. (See Patient Preparation.)
◦ “Limb leads reversed?”
◦ “LA or LL reversed?”
◦ “RA or RL reversed?”
◦ “RA or LA reversed?”
◦ “V1 or V2 reversed?”
22
SECTION 3
NOTE: The algorithm detecting electrode misplacements is based on normal physiology and ECG lead
order, and tries to identify the most likely switch; however, it is advisable to check the other electrode
positions in the same group (limb or chest).
• WAM Low Battery – displays when a low battery signal for the WAM is detected.
• Searching for WAM – displays when the WAM is not detected. Occurs usually when the WAM is out of
range or not powered on.
When the problem is corrected, the device waits for 10 seconds of good data before analyzing the ECG. Please refer
to the following troubleshooting guide based on Einthoven’s Triangle:
Artifact Check Electrode

Lead II and III artifact Poor LL electrode or left leg tremor
Lead I and II artifact Poor RA electrode or right arm tremor
Lead I and III artifact Poor LA electrode or left arm tremor
V Leads Re-prep site & replace electrode
Press the ECG key. The real-time ECG view is then replaced with the acquired ECG view. The default real-time
ECG view is not available in the acquired ECG view for navigation purposes.
NOTE: New LCD label functions are available in the acquired ECG view.
NOTE: Functions are not available during acquisition.
NOTE: Change real-time display leads by selecting F2 (Leads).
To acquire an emergency (STAT) or unidentified ECG for a new patient, press the ECG key two times. “Collecting
10 seconds of data” is displayed on the top of the LCD and “captured, analyzed, formatted” is displayed on the
bottom of the LCD. To save the captured ECG, select F1 (ID) to enter patient demographics. At the “New
Patient?” prompt, select “No”. The device will display the last patient record entered. (If “Yes”, is selected the
ECG will not be saved and the user will return to the real-time ECG view.) Use the existing information, enter new
demographics, or search the directory. Once completed, select F6 (Done). Select F3 (Print) to print or
F6 (Done) to exit. Choose to save or delete the ECG at the “Save ECG?” prompt.
Best 10 Seconds Selection
The ELI 150c/250c incorporates a 5 minute memory buffer for collection of ECG data. When the Best 10 feature is
enabled, the device will automatically select the best 10 seconds of ECG from within the 5-minute buffer. The best
10 seconds is determined based upon measures of high and low-frequency noise found in the 10-second ECG
segments. Should a single limb lead or two precordial lead fail conditions occur, the Best 10 feature is disabled until
the limb lead fail or precordial lead fail condition is resolved. At resolution, the Best 10 feature becomes available
and the selection buffer continues.
Users can switch between BEST 10 or LAST 10 by selecting F5 (More) followed by F5 (Last) or F5 (Best)
depending on the current view.
23
SECTION 3
Printing
If Auto-Print is enabled in the configuration, an ECG is printed following acquisition. To print a manual printout,
select F3 (Print).
Toggle through the available waveform display formats (3, 8 or 12 lead) by selecting F2 (Leads). A preview of the
full 10-seconds of ECG waveform is available in the acquired ECG view. The first 5 seconds are shown on the
initial view screen (page 1/2 is displayed in the upper right corner); the second 5 seconds is viewed by selecting
F2 (Leads) again (page 2/2 is displayed in the upper right corner).
If the auto-print configuration is disabled, a 10-second preview will assist in ensuring a quality ECG acquisition
prior to printing. When you acquire an ECG, the electrocardiograph captures the last 10 seconds. The relationship
between the display and the printout is the same – what is displayed in the ECG acquisition view is what will be
printed.
In order to change the speed, gain, filter, or printout format in the acquired ECG view, select F5 (More). To
manipulate the print format of the acquired ECG regardless of the plot format configuration setting, select F4 (Fmt).
Select the function key corresponding to the desired print format. The acquired ECG view is then displayed and to
make an ECG printout copy in the new plot format, select F3 (Print). Select F6 (Done) to return to the real-time
ECG view.
Storage
The device stores and saves all acquired ECGs automatically.
NOTE: Users may delete an acquired ECG from the acquired ECG screen. Once the delete selection has
been made, a confirmation message will appear. Select Yes to permanently delete the record.
Acquiring Rhythm Strips

Rhythm strips are printed in the format defined in the configuration: 3 or 6 channel for the ELI 150c; 3, 6 or
12 channel for the ELI 250c. See Section 4 for instructions to configure rhythm leads.
Begin routine rhythm strips by connecting the patient to the device and entering the patient identification
information. After the last data entry field from the ID menu is completed, select F6 (Done) to return to the real-
time ECG view. Select RHY to begin rhythm printing. You can also acquire a rhythm printout by selecting RHY
without entering the patient ID.
NOTE: Rhythm printouts are only possible from the real-time ECG view.
NOTE: Rhythm acquisitions are only printed and not stored in the device.
The rhythm activity screen appears as soon as the printer begins printing the rhythm strip. The waveform display
format is similar to the real-time ECG view; however, new function keys are available during rhythm printing.
In addition to manipulating Speed, Gain, and Filter, the user can toggle different lead groups: change lead groups
during printing by selecting F2 (Leads). The change in lead groups is apparent on the printout whereas the
waveform display will remain in the default display of 2.5 seconds of Leads I, II, and V1-V6.
24

SECTION 4
Configuration Settings
Software Version
Identifies the software version of your electrocardiograph.
Cart Number
Indicates which electrocardiograph acquired or transmitted a particular ECG.
Site Number
Identifies the site of your device. Site numbers designate the hospital, clinic, or institution for ECG records stored in
an E-Scribe system and must be defined for transmitting and retrieving ECGs from that system. You can use up to
four digits for the site number. Numbers from 0 – 4095 are supported.
Site Name
Defines your clinic, hospital, or office name. You can enter up to 30 alphanumeric characters. The site name prints
at the bottom, left edge of the ECG printout.
Telephone Number
Specifies the telephone number for internal modem transmission to another unit or to an E-Scribe system. Enter up
to 45 numeric characters.
You may need to dial a 9 to get an outside line. To wait for an additional dial tone, use the letter W.
EXAMPLE: 9W14145554321
To insert a pause, use a comma (,).

To change tone dialing to pulse dialing, use the letter P.
EXAMPLE: P14145554321
(If necessary, you can use both the letter W and the letter P in the same phone number.)
TIP: To quickly delete or modify a phone number, use a shortcut. From the application screen,
simultaneously press  (SHIFT) + ALT + P. To edit an existing telephone number, use the Tab key.
Language
There are several languages available on the electrocardiograph.
CAUTION: Function labels are immediately translated upon selecting a new language and exiting
the configuration screen.
31
SECTION 4
If an unknown language is visible, use the following steps to revert to the language of your country:
1. F6 (More) from real-time ECG view.

2. Select F5 (Set Time/Date).
3. Simultaneously press  (SHIFT) + ALT + C.
4. Enter password (“admin”)
5. Press F2 (▼) four times.
6. Press F3 (►) until the desired language appears.
7. F6 (Exit) to return to real-time ECG view.
Alphabets of specific languages may require use of special characters in demographic fields. This is accomplished
by using the SYM key on the keyboard.
Volume
Defines the keyboard click loudness. Available settings range from 0 (off) to 8 (loud).
Battery Time Out
Determines when the electrocardiograph will switch off in order to conserve the battery life of the device. The
battery time out will only occur if the keyboard has not been depressed for the time specified. The battery time out
setting is ignored if an active ECG signal is detected during transmission or while rhythm printing.
ECG Storage
Indicates ECG storage capacity. Normal indicates standard memory capacity of 40 patient records. Expanded
indicates the optional expanded memory (200 patient records) has been installed.
ID Format
Defines the format for the patient demographic information prompts. There are two standard formats: short or long.
A custom ID format can be downloaded from ELI Link or an E-Scribe system. See Appendix A to download a
custom ID.
The short format includes the patient's last and first name, patient ID number, date of birth (automatically calculates
the age), and gender.
The long format is identical to the standard format except that it includes the patient's first name, room, and
comment fields.
Auto-Fill ID
When enabled, the device will automatically populate last name, first name, date of birth, age, and gender in the ID
screen if records with matching patient ID are found in the ECG directory.
32
SECTION 4
AC Filter
The device removes 60 Hz or 50 Hz interference. The setting you select depends on the line frequency in your
country. Always use the 60 Hz setting in the U.S. If AC interference is present, check to see that the proper AC
filter is selected.
Paper Speed
Configure to 25 mm/s or 50 mm/s for default ECG printouts. For rhythm printouts and display, speeds of 5 mm/s or
10 mm/s are also available. See Section 3 to change speeds for display or rhythm printing. Paper speed is printed at
the bottom right corner of the ECG printout.
Filter
The ECG plot-frequency filter (or print filter) can be set to 0.05 to 40 Hz, 0.05 to 150 Hz, or 0.05 to 300 Hz. The
plot-frequency filter does not filter the acquired digital record. A 40 Hz plot-filter setting will reduce the noise
(40 Hz and higher frequencies) on the printed ECG, and a 150 Hz plot-filter setting will reduce the noise (150 Hz
and higher frequencies) on the printout; a 300 Hz plot-filter setting will not filter the printed ECG. The filter setting
is printed at the bottom right corner of the ECG printout.
WARNING: When the 40 Hz filter is used, the frequency response requirement for diagnostic
ECG equipment cannot be met. The 40 Hz filter significantly reduces high-frequency components of the
ECG and pacemaker spike amplitudes, and is recommended only if high-frequency noise cannot be reduced
by proper procedures.
Height Units
Weight Units
Defines the units of height (in/cm) and weight (lb/kg). Settings are selected independently of each other, allowing
for metric or U.S. forms of measurement to be used simultaneously or separately.
Interpretation
The device automatically analyzes ECGs and prints the optional interpretation on the ECG printout. This setting
allows you to select or suppress the “interpretive” text on the ECG report.
NOTE: The ECG interpretations offered by the device are only significant when used in conjunction with
a physician over-read as well as consideration of all other relevant patient data.
Reasons
The reasons statements indicate why a particular interpretive statement was printed. Reasons statements print
enclosed in [square brackets] within the interpretive text if the interpretation option is turned on. Turning the
reasons statement function on or off does not affect the measurements performed or the interpretive statements
selected by the analysis program.
For Example:
Anteroseptal Infarct [40+ ms Q WAVE IN V1-V4]
Where “Anteroseptal Infarct” is the interpretive statement, and “40+ ms Q WAVE IN V1-V4” is the reason
statement or explanation as to why the interpretive statement was printed.
33
SECTION 4
Append
A status or statement phrase can be appended to the ECG and printed under the interpretive text printout. Either
“unconfirmed report” or “reviewed by” can be selected.
Number of Copies
Defines the number of printed copies when an ECG is taken. A zero (0) setting prints no ECG; one (1) prints the
original; two (2) prints the original plus 1 copy, and so on. Up to 9 copies may be selected.
Copies with Interpretation
Defines whether or not printed copies will include interpretation. The clinician may request the first ECG printout
with the interpretation included. Additional copies may be printed with or without the interpretation.
Delete Rule
Defines the rule to mark ECGs as deleted in the ECG directory. ECGs that are marked for deletion will be
automatically removed or erased based on their acquisition date (a first-in/first-out philosophy) to make room for the
new ECG record. ECGs are only erased from the directory when they are marked for deletion and if the directory
becomes full. More than one ECG may be removed from the directory in order to make room for the new incoming
record. The delete rule selections are:
Post Plot = ECG is automatically marked for deletion after printing

Post Transmit = ECG is automatically marked for deletion after transmission
Storage Resolution
Dictates the resolution of all stored ECG records. The resolution setting is either Normal or High. If the value is set
to High, the stored ECG will have a high resolution. As a result, the record size will be large and will reduce the
storage capacity in the ECG directory.
Pace Spike Channel
Determines whether a pacemaker spike(s) notification marker(s) will display at the base of the ECG printout.
ID Edit Disable
Selecting YES allows the ID to be edited at any time before the completion of the record or while still in the
acquired screen. Once the acquired screen has been left and the record is stored in the directory, the ID
demographics can no longer be edited at the electrocardiograph.
Caps Lock
All character entry is translated to uppercase.
Use A4 Paper
The ELI 250c accommodates use of Z-fold thermal paper in either letter size (8.5 x 11 inches; 216 x 279 mm) or A4
size (8.27 x 11.69 inches; 210 x 297 mm). The provided paper tray spacer is required for use with A4 size paper.
34
SECTION 4
Rhythm Formats
Defines the default values for rhythm printing. It is possible to set a 3 or 6-channel default rhythm format for the
ELI 150c. For the ELI 250c, a 3, 6, or 12-channel default rhythm format is possible. Define rhythm leads one
through three to customize a 3-channel rhythm printout or define rhythm leads one through six to customize the
6-channel rhythm printout.
Plot Format
Defines the default for one of the available plot formats in either standard or Cabrera presentation. Please note that
regardless of the plot format selected, 10 seconds of 12 leads are always stored.
The ECG plot options are:

APPENDIX B
Power Off the Device
To completely shutdown the device, disconnect the AC power cord then press the ON/OFF button. Such a
shutdown should always be performed prior to authorized repair of the device.
Test Operation
After cleaning and inspecting the device, proper operation of the unit may be confirmed by using an ECG simulator
to acquire and print a standard 12-lead ECG of known amplitude. Printing should be dark and even across the page.
There should be no evidence of print head dot failure (e.g., breaks in printing forming horizontal streaks). Paper
motion should be smooth and consistent during printing. Waveforms should appear normal with proper amplitude
and, without distortion or excessive noise. Paper should stop with perforations near the tear bar (indicating proper
cue sensor operation).
Recommendations to Biomedical Staff
Following any service to the device or when non-compliant operation is suspected, Mortara Instrument, Inc.
recommends the following procedures:
• Confirm proper operation.

• Perform testing to ensure continued electrical safety of the device
(use IEC 60601-1, ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-1, or IEC 62353 methods and limits).
• patient leakage current
• chassis leakage current
• earth leakage current
• dielectric strength or insulation resistance (mains and patient circuits, mains and signal input/output
part (e.g., USB), mains and protective earth)
Battery Maintenance
The device houses an internal, sealed lead-acid battery. When installed, the battery has a shelf life of approximately
six months without recharging. If the battery has been stored for a long period in a discharged state, it may not be
able to regain its capacity even if it is recharged.
For information about replacing the battery, please refer to the device’s service manual.
Mortara Instrument, Inc. recommends that the device be plugged into AC power whenever possible to maximize
battery life and for the user to develop a habit of recharging the battery before the unit indicates a “low battery”
condition. (That is, reduced depth of discharge.) Battery life varies by how the battery is maintained and how much
it is used. For improved battery life, keep the electrocardiograph plugged in when not in use.
The sealed lead-acid battery will provide optimum life when the unit is fully charged after each use. When the
battery charge is depleted to its lowest level (10.6V), the device will automatically power down. To recharge a
battery from its lowest level to 85%, 4 hours of recharging may be necessary. To reach 90%, 7 hours of recharging
may be necessary. It may take longer to reach 100%. The device can be used with AC power while simultaneously
charging.
