Chapter4 Working Principle and Structural Characteristics
4.1 Working principle and its block diagram
4.1.1 The power supply unit
Principle of power supply
After the AC power supply enters the switching power supply, it is converted to DC voltage
and supplied to the DC-DC power unit, it also provides constant voltage current limiting
charging for the rechargeable lithium battery in the device through the DC-DC circuit, and
generates +5V and +8.5V voltage through the power conversion to supply power to the
corresponding modules. At the same time, the lithium battery in the device can independently
satisfy working requirements of each module in the device through the buck-boost circuit.
Note: The principle block diagram and component list are only available to service stations
or maintenance personnel designated by our company.
4.1.2 Signal acquisition unit
The signal acquisition unit uses a floating setting, which is a signal acquisition and
processing system, including analog circuit part and A/D conversion (with sampling accuracy of
24 bits) and data processing part. The analog circuit consists of signal following, amplification,
anti-aliasing low-pass filtering, lead-off detection and overload detection. CPU system is
responsible for coordinating the work of each circuit such as the A/D converter, the lead-off
detection circuit and the overload detection circuit, in order to achieve signal acquisition,
processing, and lead-off detection. Control information and A/D conversion and data
acquisition between the floating circuit and the solid circuit are transmitted through the
optoelectronic coupler.
4.1.3 Control unit
(1)Principle of control unit
The control system consists of printing system, button system, liquid crystal display system,
and signal acquisition system. The ECG signal sent from the signal acquisition system through
the high-speed optoelectronic coupler is received by the CPU system, after digital filtering, gain
adjustment and motor drive, it is sent to the printing system to print the ECG waveform. After
the printing is completed, the CPU system processes waveform measurement and analysis. The
CPU system also receives an interrupt signal and button code from the button system to
complete the interrupt processing. In addition, the lead-off signal, paper out detection, battery
voltage management, and automatic power-off are also managed by the CPU system. The liquid
crystal controller receives data and commands from the CPU system to complete the display of
the control state of the device.

Note: When charging the battery, the displayed status of battery level switches between icon
f to icon c.
9.1.2 The device can print for 3 hours or work for more than 10 hours in standby mode when
battery is completely charged. When the device is powered by battery, a battery icon will be
displayed on the LCD screen, showing the battery capacity in 5 modes. When the battery
capacity is too low for the device to operate, the device will turn off automatically to avoid
permanent damage to the battery.
Note: The above data is obtained by printing demo waveform under the test environment of
temperature 25℃, speed 25mm/s and gain 10mm/mV. In actual use, the operation time may
be shorten due to operation condition and environment.
9.1.3 The battery should be recharged in time after discharged completely. If not used for long
period, the battery should be recharged every 3 months, which can extend the life of the
battery.
9.1.4 When the battery can not be recharged or works no more than 10 minutes after fully
charged, please replace the battery.
Note
Do not try to dismantle the sealed battery without permission.The replacement of
battery shall be carried out by professional maintenance personal authorized by our
company, and the same model of rechargeable battery provided by our company

should be used.
Do not touch the positive and negative terminals of the battery directly with wire,
otherwise there is a danger of fire.
Do not use the battery near fire sources or in environments where the temperature
exceeds 60°C. Do not heat the battery or throw it into fire, water and avoid splashed by
water.
Do not puncture, hammer or strike the battery or destroy it by other ways, otherwise it
will cause battery overheat, smoke, deform or burn dangers.
Keep away from the battery when it appears leakage or emitting unpleasant smell. If
the battery electrolyte leaks onto the skin or clothes, clean with water immediately. If
the electrolyte accidentally enters your eyes, do not rub your eyes, immediately clean
with water and see a doctor.
If the battery reaches its service life, or battery smell, deform, discolor or distorted
appears, please stop using the battery and dispose it in accordance with local
regulations.
9.2 Recording paper
In order to ensure the quality of the ECG waveform, please use the high-speed thermal
recording paper supplied or specified by the company. If you use unspecified recording paper,
the recorded ECG waveform may be blurred, faded, and the paper feeding may not be smooth.
This may even increase the wear of the device and shorten the service life of important parts
such as the thermal print head. For information on how to purchase such recording paper,
please contact your dealer or the company. Please be careful!
9.2.1 When using recording paper, it is absolutely not allowed to use recording paper with wax
on the surface or in grayish/black color. Otherwise, the wax will stick to the heating part of the
print head, resulting in abnormal work or damage of the print head.
9.2.2 High temperature, humidity and sunlight may cause the recording paper to change color.
Please keep the recording paper in a dry and cool place.
9.2.3 Please do not place the recording paper under fluorescent light for a long time, otherwise
it will affect the recording effect.
9.2.4 Please do not to put the recording paper together with the PVC plastic, otherwise the
color of recording paper will change.

before cleaning. Use neutral detergents for cleaning. Do not use any detergent or disinfectant
containing alcohol.
9.4 Lead cables and electrodes
9.4.1 The connectivity of the lead cable can be detected by the multimeter. Check whether
each wire of the lead cable is in good contact according to the following table. The resistance of
each wire from the electrode plug to the corresponding pin in the lead cable plug should be less
than 10Ω. The integrity of the lead cable must be checked regularly. Any lead wire damage will
cause a false waveform of the corresponding lead or all leads on the ECG. The lead cable can be
cleaned with neutral solvent. Do not use the detergent or germicide containing alcohol (Please
do not immerse the lead cables in liquid for cleaning).
Note: The resistance of lead cable with defibrillation-proof protection function is about 10KΩ.
9.4.2 Bending or knotting will shorten the service life of the lead cable. When using it, please
straighten the lead cable first.
9.4.3 The electrode should be well stored. After long time use, the surface of the electrode may
oxidize and discolor due to corrosion and other factors, which may affect the signal acquisition.
In this case, the electrode must be replaced.
9.5 Silicone rubber roller
The silicone rubber roller should be smooth and free of stains, otherwise it will affect the ECG
recording effect. In order to remove the stains on the roller, please use a clean soft cloth
damped with a small amount of alcohol to wipe it along the longitudinal direction, and scroll
the roller in the paper conveying direction while wiping until it is clean.
9.6 Cleaning of thermal print head
Dirt and dust on the surface of the TPH can affect the clarity of the waveform. To clean the
print head surface, open the paper compartment cover after turning off the device, use a clean
and soft cloth dampened with alcohol to wipe the surface gently. For the residual stains on
print head, moist it with a little alcohol first, then wipe with a soft cloth. Never use hard objects
to scratch the surface, otherwise the print head will be damaged. Wait until the alcohol has
evaporated, then close the paper compartment cover. The print head should be cleaned at
least once a month during normal use.
9.7 Disposal of product scrap
The disposal of packaging materials, waste battery and end-of-life device should obey the
local laws and regulations, and user should treat the scrapped products and materials properly
according to the laws and regulations, and try to support the classification and recycling work.

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.
38
Page 45
5) Dynamically threshold adjustment: after found the cardiac impulse location, use the
value at 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.
39
Page 46
5) Change the searching range of 30ms-100ms to 100ms-350ms in step 1, repeat step 1-4.
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
40
Page 47
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 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,

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.
3.4 Calculation after intervals determination
The following parameters are determined 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 Definitions and rules for the measurement of
