2.16.2 Winding and unclear end position of S wave and T wave may cause error in
measurement.
2.16.3 When R wave is uninspected caused by some leads off or QRS wave low voltage, the
heart rate measurement may deviate greatly from the correct.
2.16.4 In case of QRS low voltage, ECG axis calculation and border-point identify of QRS wave
6
are not always reliable.
2.16.5 Occasionally, frequent ventricular premature complexes may be identified as dominant
beat.
2.16.6 Merging of versatile arrhythmia may result in unreliable measurement because of the
difficulty in distinguishing P wave in such situation.
2.16.7 The device has an automatic analysis function that automatically analyzes the obtained
ECG waveform without reflecting all the patient’s status. The results of the analysis may
sometimes not comply with the doctor’s diagnosis. Therefore, the final conclusion needs to be
comprehensively analyzed by doctors in combination with analysis results, patient clinical
characterization and other test results.

of the device, and connect the other end to the ground to enhance the reliability of the
grounding. Do not use other pipes as ground wire, otherwise, the patient may be in danger
of electric shock.

6.3 Lead cable connection

Connect the lead cable to the lead cable interface on the device, and fasten it to the device with
the fixing knobs at both sides of the lead cable in order to prevent bad connection and affecting
the detection.
Note: The lead cable interface can not be used for other purpose except as the input
interface of ECG signals.

6.4 Electrode installation

Proper installation of the electrodes is an important part of accurately recording the
16
electrocardiogram. Make sure the electrodes are in good contact. Old and new electrodes or reusable electrodes and disposable electrodes cannot be used at the same time. If different types of electrodes are used together, it will seriously affect the ECG recording. The electrode or lead plug must not touch other object surfaces or conductors, such as metal beds. Please replace them all when updating the electrodes.

6.4.1 Chest electrodes

As shown in Figure 6-1:
Figure 6-1 Installation of chest electrode
The chest electrodes should be installed to the following parts: C1Vl): the fourth intercostal space at the right sternal margin C2V2): the fourth intercostal space at the left sternal margin C3V3): between C2 and C4 C4V4): the intersection between midclavicular line and the fifth intercostal space C5V5): left anterior axillary line on the same plane as C4 C6V6): left midaxillary line on the same plane as C4 Clean the chest skin where the electrodes to be installed with alcohol, and apply some conductive pastes to these skin (about 25 mm-diameter range) and the edge of the chest electrode suction cup. Squeeze the suction cup to install the chest electrode at the positions of Cl-C6.
Note: The conductive paste coating should be separated from each other, and the chest
electrodes should not touch each other to avoid short circuit.
Note: Please use qualified conductive paste to avoid damaging the skin.

6.4.2 Limb electrodes

The limb electrodes should be placed on the soft skin of both hands and feet. Before connecting,
clean the skin of the electrode installation area with alcohol, and then apply a small amount of

Chapter 8 Troubleshooting

8.1 Auto shutdown

The battery is almost running out, which causes overdischarge protection circuit
action. The voltage of AC power supply is too high, which causes overvoltage protection
circuit action.

8.2 AC interference

Whether the device is grounded reliably? Whether the electrode or lead cable is connected correctly? Whether the electrodes and skin are daubed with enough conductive paste?. Whether the metal bed is grounded reliably? Whether the patient is touching the wall or metal parts of the bed? Whether the patient touches other people? Whether there is high power electric equipment working nearby? Such as X-ray
machine or ultrasonic device, etc.
Note: If the interference can not be removed after taking above measures, please use a
AC filter.

8.3 EMG interference

Whether the room is comfortable? Whether the patient is nervous? Whether the bed space is narrow? Whether patient speaks during recording? Whether the limb electrode is too tight?
Note: If the interference can not be removed after taking above measures, please use a

3.1 Find the cardiac impulse location
1) Data preprocessing, obtain the absolute value trend of slope for each lead; then superimpose
each absolute value, obtain the superimposed graph of absolute value of slope.
2) Smoothing filter the superimposed graph on average of width 80ms, obtain the analytical data
source DDD.
3) Find the cardiac impulse location, give an initial threshold for searching, orderly scan the data
in the analytical data source DDD, then compare it with the threshold value:
When the value is greater than the threshold, it may be the beginning of qrs-complex. If the
distance from the previous qrs-complex to the current location is less than 150ms, then give up
the location.
Otherwise, take the 1/4 of threshold value as a reference, find the beginning of qrs-complex
within 100ms before the current location.
When the value is less than the threshold value, it may be the end of qrs-complex. Take the 1/4
of threshold value as a reference, find the end of qrs-complex.
If the found qrs-complex is wide, this qrs-complex shall be excluded. Otherwise, save the found
qrs-complex.
4) Locate: after found the qrs-complex, search the max value point between the beginning point
and end point in the ecg original data, mark the point as cardiac impulse location.
5) Dynamically threshold adjustment: after found the cardiac impulse location, use the value at
45
the cardiac impulse location for the dynamically adaptive adjustment of the threshold value.
Define the threshold value as 1/3 of the average of the nearest three cardiac impulses.
6) After found the cardiac impulse location, compute the RR-interval and accumulate it with the
previous RR-intervals, then count the number of accumulated RR-intervals.
7) Continue searching until the end of data, and calculate the global average value for
RR-intervals at the same time.
3.2 Find the beginning/end for each wave
The beginning/end of qrs-complex has been approached in above cardiac impulse locating
process, but it is mainly in order to assist to find the cardiac impulse location; in addition, the
location is searched based on the slope threshold value, which is imprecise. Here, according to
the found cardiac impulse location, the beginning/end of qrs-complex will be sought accurately.
Name the cardiac impulse location as the peak of R-wave.
1. Read data
1) Read one data of qrs-complex: take the peak of R-wave as reference, locate directly to the
original ecg file, read a piece of data containing the qrs-complex.
2) Preprocessing: superimpose the absolute value of slope for 12-lead signals.
3) Use the preprocessed data to carry on the searching of QRS-complex, P-wave and T-wave as
the followings.
4) Read the next data of qrs-complex, repeat step 2 and step 3 until the analyzing of all
qrs-complex are finished.
2. Find QRS-complex
1) Calculate the threshold value of S-wave: search the minimal value within 200ms after the
peak of R-wave, take the value that equals to minimal value plus 0.4, as the threshold value for
finding the end of S-wave.
2) Find the beginning of Q-wave: take 0.5 as the threshold vale, search forwardly starting from
R-wave, a point that less than the threshold value, within 0ms-200ms before the peak of R-wave,
which is the beginning of Q-wave.
3) Find the end of S-wave: search backwardly starting from R-wave, a point that less than the
threshold value of the end of S-wave, within 0ms-200ms after the peak of R-wave, which is the
end of S-wave.
3. Find P-wave
1) Peak of P-wave: search the max value within 30ms-100ms before the beginning of Q-wave,
temporarily mark the point as the peak of P-wave.
2) Find the end of P-wave: search the minimal value between the peak of P-wave and the
beginning of Q-wave, the minimal value plus 0.05 is the threshold value, use the threshold value
to find the end of P-wave.
3) Find the beginning of P-wave: search the minimal value within 150ms before the peak of
P-wave, the minimal value plus 0.06 is the threshold value, use the threshold value to find the
beginning of P-wave.
4) If the found P-wave is narrow, research the P-wave according to the following steps.
5) Change the searching range of 30ms-100ms to 100ms-350ms in step 1, repeat step 1-4.
46
6) If the found P-wave is still narrow, it means that P-wave doesn’t exist.
4. Find T-wave
1) Peak of T-wave: search the max value within 30ms-300ms after the end of QRS-complex,
save it as the peak of T-wave.
2) Threshold value of the beginning of T-wave: search the minimal value within 0ms-100ms
after the end of QRS-complex, the minimal value plus 1/10 of the peak value of T-wave is the
threshold for finding the beginning of T-wave.
3) Threshold value of the end of T-wave: search the minimal value within 200ms after the peak
of T-wave, the minimal value plus 1/10 of the peak value of T-wave is the threshold for finding
the end of T-wave.
4) Find the beginning of T-wave: in the range between the minimal value in step2 and the peak
of T-wave, find a point that less than the threshold value of the beginning of T-wave, the point is
the beginning of T-wave.
5) Find the end of T-wave: in the range between the minimal value in step3 and the peak of
T-wave, find a point that less than the threshold value of the end of T-wave, the point is the end
of T-wave.
5. Explanation of equipotential segment
In searching the QRS-complex, this algorithm adopts the analysis method of superposition of the
slopes for all leads, therefore, the equipotential segments before and after the QRS-complex are
partly included in the start and end points of the QRS-complex. It is depends on the number of
leads containing equipotential segments. If there are more leads containing equipotential
segments, the slope value will be smaller after superposition, so it is difficult to meet the
threshold condition, and only a small part of the equipotential segments is counted to the start
and end points of the QRS-complex. On the contrary, if there are less leads containing
equipotential segments, a large part of the equipotential segments will be counted to the start and
end points of the QRS-complex. Anyway, the equipotential segments before and after the
QRS-complex are partly included in the QRS-complex duration.
3.3 Amplitude measurement
After finding the position of each wave, i.e. the start and end points of P wave, QRS complex
and T wave, use the following method to measure P, Q, R, S, ST and T waves of each lead.
1. P-wave
Calculate the average value of the data 20ms before the start point of P wave, and use this
average value as the baseline of P wave. Find the max value between the start point and end
point of P wave, the difference between the max value and the baseline would be the amplitude
of P wave.
2. Q/R/S wave
Calculate the average value of the data 10-30ms before the start point of QRS complex, and use
this average value as the baseline of QRS complex. Search boundary points that exceeding the
baseline from the start point of Q wave to the end point of S wave. Each adjacent two boundary
points forms a sub-wave. Determine whether each sub-wave is a recognizable minimum wave
(see the definition below). If it is a recognizable minimum wave, first identify its direction. If it
47
is above the QRS baseline, it is R wave, if it is below the baseline, it is Q wave or S wave. Find
the extreme value of this wave, and the difference between the extreme value and the baseline is
the amplitude of Q/R/S wave.
Note: If there is only one downward wave, its amplitude should be respectively recorded in
the amplitude of Q wave and S wave.
3. ST segment
Take above baseline of QRS complex as the ST baseline. Calculate the differences between the
ST baseline and the points at 40ms and 60ms after the end point of QRS complex, and calculate
the average value of these two differences, the average value is the amplitude of ST segment.
4. T-wave
Calculate the average value of the data 20-50ms after the end point of T wave, and average this
value with the QRS baseline in 2, then use the result as the baseline of T wave. Find the max
value between the start point and end point of T wave, the difference between the max value and
the baseline would be the amplitude of T wave.
5. Recognition of minimum wave
The minimum wave can be recognized by the algorithm according to the requirement of
IEC60601-2-51:2003 Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-51: Particular requirements for safety,
including essential performance, of recording and analysing single channel and multichannel
electrocardiographs, Annex GG, Clause GG.5 Definition of waveforms, measurement of
minimum waves. The wave that meet the following conditions is the minimum wave that can be
recognized by the algorithm.
1)The signal part under consideration shows clearly two opposite slopes with at least one
turning point in between;
2)The signal part under consideration deviates at least 30μV from the reference level for a
duration of at least 6ms;
3)The minimum observable duration of wave under consideration is 12ms and amplitude
30μV.

5.1.2 Verification and Process for CSE measurement database
Import the converted case files into the device, add appropriate database records, then waveform
for all case files can be reviewed in the device, therefore the automated measurement parameters
can be obtained.
Eliminate the cases existing obvious error for the diagnostic parameters (P-wave location is
wrong) from the CSE database.
Make a comparison between the ECG analytical parameters (the beginning/end of P-wave,
QRS-complex and T-wave) and the diagnostic parameters (the beginning/end of P-wave,
QRS-complex and T-wave) provided by CSE database. Draw the two groups of waveform and
mark the location of the beginning/end of P-wave, QRS-complex and T-wave corresponding to
each case. The picture provides a visualized comparison, so the mean and standard deviation of
the differences can be calculated. According to the requirement of IEC60601-2-51:2003 Medical

6. Accuracy of rhythm diagnosis
6.1 ECG database used for rhythm diagnosis
The ECG database that used for testing the accuracy of rhythm diagnosis contains 3000 cases of
12-lead ECG, each case length is 10s. The data is measured by 12-lead ECG device of our
company. The true value of data is judged by a heart expert with more than 10 years of work
experience based on those 12-lead ECG waveform.
The number of cases with the following diagnosis types (the case diagnosis may contain one or
more types) is shown as below:
