FOREWORD

Thank you for choosing the BIOLOG 3000i portable ECG monitor.

BIOLOG 3000i is the world’s most portable multi-functional ECG
recorder. It which can be used on its own for instant cardiac monitoring
or with other System 3000i components to provide an integrated
diagnostic monitoring system.

The BIOLOG 3000i consists of a unit weighing 270 grams and a
simultaneous patient cable. This allows you to obtain, store and

analyze patient ECG data quickly and with great confidence.

Cardiac records are stored by the BIOLOG 3000i, which then can be
transferred to QRS Diagnostic’s patient management software,
CardioView. Alternatively they can be printed to an inkjet printer via the
Biolog Printer Interface.

The BIOLOG 3000i’s capability to perform electrocardiograms by direct
chest placement makes it especially suited for Emergency Care,
allowing when necessary the use of real time telephonic monitoring.

We are sure that this device will enhance your medical practice and
allow you to achieve a greater level of freedom without losing the
power of diagnosis you have been accustomed to.

PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To prevent the possibility of electrocution, ensure that the rear electrodes are

not in contact with the patient while device is connected to any peripheral device.
WARNING: The following precautions need to be taken when a defibrillator is used on a

patient:

• Do not touch the patient during defibrillation.

• Do not touch the defibrillator’s paddle-electrode surface when discharging the

defibrillator.

• Keep defibrillator electrodes well clear of other electrodes or metal parts in contact
with the patient.

• If a person is touching the patient, bed, or any conductive material in contact with the
patient during defibrillation, the delivered energy may be partially discharged through
that person. Make sure persons stand away from the patient, bed, and other
conductive material before discharging the defibrillator.

WARNING: Batteries and other disposables used in conjunction with this device must be
disposed of in accordance with the national requirements in the country of use.

CAUTION: A 6L Biolog Patient cable or 12L Biolog patient cable is required to be used in
conjunction with the BIOLOG 3000i in order to provide protection against the effect of the
discharge of a cardiac defibrillator and against high frequency burns.
Conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors, including the neutral electrode,
should not contact other conductive parts including earth.
The BIOLOG 3000i is not intended to be sterilized or used in a sterile environment and
therefore is not suitable for direct cardiac application.
The BIOLOG 3000i is not suitable for use with flammable anaesthetics and offers no
water ingress protection.
Inspect the BIOLOG 3000i electrocardiograph and 6L Biolog Patient Cable or 12L Biolog
patient cable regularly for signs of mechanical damage, particularly around patient leads.
To verify correct operation of the electrocardiograph, connect all patient leads to a patient
and check that there is a valid ECG signal on every lead by viewing the signal on the
BIOLOG 3000i screen.

CAUTION: Federal law in U.S.A. restricts this device to the sale by or on the order of a
physician.

CAUTION: An authorized QRS Diagnostic, LLC service agent must service this device.

Setting up the BIOLOG 3000i

2.1 Set Up Instructions

2.1.1 Installing the Batteries

Your BIOLOG 3000i is supplied with two AA (LR6) 1·5V alkaline
batteries.

• Slide the ON/OFF switch to OFF position.

• Remove the battery compartment cover, by pressing down on the

cover, while simultaneously sliding it backwards (Figure 2.1).

Figure 2.1 Opening the Battery Hatch

• Load the Batteries with Correct Polarity.

• Match the battery polarity signs with the polarity marked on the

interior of the battery compartment casing.

Figure 2.2 Inserting the batteries

• Close the battery compartment

NOTE: Check the batteries were inserted with correct polarity (Figure 2.2).

11 SETTING UP THE BIOLOG 3000i

Align, press and slide the battery compartment cover until the locking
catch snaps into position (Figure 2.3).

Figure 2.3 Closing the battery hatch

2.1.2 Start Up

Slide the BIOLOG 3000i ON/OFF key to the ON position (Figure 2.4).
The screen will display:

• The title screen for 2 seconds;

• The Set Up Menu for 2 seconds (if configured to); and

• The ECG display screen. If the electrodes are not applied, the

center of the screen will show the “Leads Off” symbol:

(- - - - -)(- - - - -)

Figure 2.4: Turning the BIOLOG 3000i on

At any time, you can adjust the contrast of the LCD display with the
CONTRAST control button situated on the side of the unit (this may be
necessary to produce a visible display if it has been misadjusted).

SETTING UP THE BIOLOG 3000i 12

2.2 Checking the Battery Status

The power remaining in the batteries is displayed on screen by the
battery status bar.

The battery status bar is located.

• At the bottom of the Set Up Menu screen (Figure 2.5).

Or

• At the top of the screen during normal operation (Figure 2.5).

The battery status bar is an indicator of the battery voltage, with 8
segments showing the voltage range for usable operation. You can
visually check at any time how much power remains in the batteries.

When the voltage approaches the minimum for reliable operation, the
symbol BAT appears at the bottom of the screen. At this stage, you
should complete your procedure and replace the batteries, as some
operations such as printing and transferring data to a PC cause a dip in
the power levels, which can cause the Biolog to shut down without
warning.

Battery longevity is affected by backlighting. To preserve battery life, you
should turn off the backlight. If you turn the backlight ON or OFF, you
will notice that the battery status bar adjusts itself to the new condition.
