SE-3 Electrocardiograph Service Manual Operating Principle
The heart is a power organ of the blood circulation. Before the systole or the diastole, a cardiac
impulse happens in the heart muscle, and a faint bioelectric signal is thus generated. The
bioelectric signal is transmitted through the whole body, and the potential difference is generated
on the different skin surfaces because of the different distances from the heart.
The cardiogram is a record of the amplification of the potential distribution on the body skin
surface. The potential difference is sampled by the electrodes, and amplified and processed by the
electrocardiograph. Then it is recorded on the paper. The cardiogram recorded by the
electrocardiograph can help doctors to analyze and diagnose heart disease. The intended use of
the electrocardiograph is to acquire ECG signals from adult and pediatric patients through body
surface ECG electrodes. The electrocardiograph only records the heart's electrical activity, and
does not produce any electricity of its own. The test does not hurt and has no known side effects.
It does not require any preparations except possibly shaving chest hair to get a better recording.
The recording itself takes only a few seconds.
It is more than one hundred years since the electrocardiograph was applied in clinical diagnosis.
The electrocardiograph is an important measurement in clinical diagnosis of heart disease, and is
equipped in almost every hospital and clinic.

SE-3 Electrocardiograph Service Manual Operating Principle
This module is a sampling and processing module of 12-channel ECG signals. It can amplify and
preprocess ECG signals in every channel, detect lead situations, and send data to ARM9 MCU.
This module is connected to ARM9 MCU through the UART port.
The electrocardiograph has 10 lead cables. Nine lead cables input ECG signals and one right foot
lead cable provides the float ground. The ECG signals pass through the defibrillator protection
circuit, the buffering circuit (U1~U3), and enter the difference amplifier circuit. Then they
continue to pass through the pacemaker pulse restraining, high-pass filter, low-pass filter, channel
switch, second level amplification, and enter the A/D sampling port.
Because the ECG system must meet the safety requirement of the photo-electricity isolation, the
serial signals will be sent to the photo-electricity component.

2) Patient Cable
Integrity of the patient cable, including the main cable and lead wires, should be
checked regularly. Make sure that it is conductible.
Do not drag or twist the patient cable with excessive stress while using it. Hold the
connector plug instead of the cable when connecting or disconnecting the patient cable.
Align the patient cable to avoid twisting, knotting or crooking in a closed angle while
using it.
Store the lead wires in a big wheel to prevent any people from stumbling.
Once damage or aging of the patient cable is found, replace it with a new one
immediately.
3) Electrodes
Electrodes must be cleansed after use and make sure there is no remainder gel on them.
Keep suction bulbs of chest electrodes away from sunshine and excessive temperature.
After long-term use, the surfaces of electrodes will be oxidized because of erosion and
other causes. By this time, electrodes should be replaced to achieve high-quality ECG
records.
CAUTION
The device and accessories are to be disposed of according to local regulations after
their useful lives. Alternatively, they can be returned to the dealer or the manufacturer for
recycling or proper disposal.
