SE-3 Electrocardiograph Service Manual Operating Principle

Chapter 3 Operating Principle


This chapter describes the basic theory and the internal circuit structure of SE-3 to let the service
provider understand the operating principle.

3.1 Basic Theory of ECG Operation

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.

3.2 Composition of ECG

The standard 12-lead electrocardiogram is a representation of the heart's electrical activity


recorded from electrodes on the body surface. A normal ECG wave consists of a P wave, a QRS
complex, an ST segment, a T wave and a U wave. In the following figure, the x-axis indicates
time and y-axis indicates voltage. When the recording speed is 25mm/s and the sensitivity is
10mm/mV, one small grid on x-axis represents 0.04 seconds, and one small grid on y-axis
represents 0.1mV.
This diagram illustrates ECG waves and intervals as well as standard time and voltage measures
on the ECG paper.

- 13 -
SE-3 Electrocardiograph Service Manual Operating Principle

Figure 3-1 Composition of ECG


P wave: the sequential activation (depolarization) of the right and left atria
QRS complex: the right and left ventricular depolarization (normally the ventricles are
activated simultaneously)
ST-T wave: the ventricular repolarization
U wave: the origin of this wave is not clear - but probably represents "after-depolarization" in
the ventricles.
PR interval: the interval from the onset of the atrial depolarization (P wave) to the onset of the
ventricular depolarization (QRS complex)
QRS duration: the duration of the ventricular muscle depolarization
QT interval: the duration of the ventricular depolarization and repolarization
RR interval: the duration of the ventricular cardiac cycle (an indicator of the ventricular rate)
PP interval: the duration of the atrial cycle (an indicator of the atrial rate)

3.3 Lead

The 12-lead ECG provides spatial information about the heart's electrical activity in three
approximately orthogonal directions.

3.4 Description of Hardware Design Principle

SE-3 consists of the following functional blocks:


1) Key panel for user input;
2) Front end module including the signal acquisition, digital filter and amplifier;
3) Main board: ARM9 and peripheral module;
4) Thermal printer module;
5) LCD display module;
6) Power supply module.

SE-3 Electrocardiograph Service Manual Operating Principle

3.4.1 ECG Board Description

Figure 3-5 Block Diagram of the ECG Board Circuit

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.

SE-3 Electrocardiograph Service Manual Operating Principle

3.4.2 Description of Main Control Part


The main control part is SE-3 main board, which is divided into two parts (the ARM9 circuit and
the interface circuit).
The ARM9 circuit consists of MCU S3C2410, SDRAM, NAND FLASH, NOR FLASH, LAN
controller, CPLD etc. The main frequency is 203MHz.
The interface circuit consists of the RS232 interface, LAN interface, USB interface, printer
interface, LCD interface, key panel interface etc. It also provides power supply to the device.

Figure 3-6 Block Diagram of the ARM9 Circuit


The system uses ARM9 (S3C2410) (U1) as the control MCU, and the peripheral equipment is
connected to the MCU ports. The MCU controls the peripheral equipment in several kinds of
ways. The system expands 64M external SDRAM (U10, U11), 8M NOR FLASH (U12, U13),
64M FLASH (U3), LAN Controller (U15) and CPLD (U14).
The interface circuit integrates all sockets for USB, Ethernet, input/output, RS232 and thermal
printer. The main control circuits include the paper detection circuit (U25), the motor driving
circuit (U22, U23, U56) and the heat time control circuit (U14, the CPLD). The external analog
input is connected to MCU by U28.
The thermal recorder has the step motor and the transmission frame of its own. The paper
detection is carried out by using a photoelectric diode.
The key panel uses membrane keys, and the key panel control component uses 34 matrixes.
There are 12 keys in total.
SE-3 (19264 LCD screen) adopts 8 bit bus interface. The main board uses 8 GPIO to simulate 8
bit buses to control the reading and writing of the LCD screen.
SE-3 (320240 LCD screen) adopts the standard FSTN interface. Because ARM9 has the FSTN
interface of its own, it can be driven directly after connected.

The surfaces of the main unit and the patient cable can be wiped with a clean soft cloth damped
in soapy water or non-caustic neutral detergent. After that, remove detergent remainder with a
clean dry cloth.

7.1.2 Cleaning the Electrodes


Remove the remainder gel from the electrodes with a clean soft cloth first. Take suction bulbs and
metal cups of chest electrodes apart, and take clamps and metal parts of limb electrodes apart.
Clean them in warm water and make sure there is no remainder gel. Dry the electrodes with a
clean dry cloth or air dry naturally.

7.1.3 Cleaning the Print Head


Dirty and soiled thermal print head will deteriorate the printing definition. So it should be cleaned
at least once a month regularly.
Open the recorder casing and remove the recorder paper. Wipe the print head gently with a clean
soft cloth damped in 75% alcohol. For stubborn stain, soak it with a little alcohol first and wipe it
off with a clean soft cloth. After air dries, load the recorder paper and shut the recorder casing.

CAUTION

1. Prevent the detergent from seeping into the main unit while cleaning. Do not immerse
the unit or the patient cable into liquid under any circumstances.

The battery capacity of the rechargeable battery can be identified according to the battery
symbol in the top right corner of the LCD screen.

: Full capacity

: Capacity is limited, and recharge should be taken into account.


: Capacity is low, and hint information BAT WEAK will be displayed on the LCD screen.
The battery should be recharged immediately.
2) Recharge
SE-3 is equipped with the recharge control circuit together with the built-in rechargeable
lithium battery. When the unit is connected to the mains supply, the battery will be recharged
automatically. Then the battery recharging indicator lamp ( ) and the mains supply
indicator lamp ( ) will be lit at the same time. During the recharging course, the symbol

flashes in the top right corner of the LCD screen. When the battery capacity is full, the

symbol stops flashing, and the battery recharging indicator lamp ( ) is black. The

3-channel electrocardiograph can not be recharged when it is printing reports, and the
battery recharging indicator is black; when the 3-channel electrocardiograph is switched off,
the battery recharging indicator lamp ( ) will be black if the battery is fully recharged.

- 47 -
SE-3 Electrocardiograph Service Manual Cleaning, Care and Maintenance

Because of the capacity consumption during the storage and transport course, the battery
capacity is not full when it is used for the first time. Battery recharge should be considered
before the first use.
Note: If the battery has not been used for more than two months, it should be
recharged before use.
3) Replacement
When the useful life of the battery is over, or foul smell and leakage are found, please
contact the manufacturer or the local distributor for replacement.

WARNING

1. Only qualified service engineers authorized by the manufacturer can open the
battery compartment and replace the battery. The battery of the same model and
specification provided by the manufacturer must be used.
2. Danger of explosion -- Do not reverse the anode and the cathode when installing the
battery.

3. Remove the battery from the electrocardiograph when the electrocardiograph is not
used for a long time.
4. If the battery is stored alone and not used for a long time, we recommend that the
battery should be charged at least once every 6 months to prevent overdischarge.

7.3.2 Recorder Paper

Note: Recorder paper provided by the manufacturer should be used. Other paper may
shorten the life of the thermal print head. The deteriorated print head may lead
to illegible ECG reports and block the advance of the paper.
Storage Requirements:
Recorder paper should be stored in a dry, dark and cool area, avoiding excessive
temperature, humidity and sunshine.
Do not put the recorder paper under fluorescence for a long time.
Make sure that there is no polyvinyl chloride or other chemicals in the storage
environment, which will lead to color change of the paper.
Do not overlap the recorded paper for a long time, or else the ECG reports may
trans-print each other.
