System Description
The device is a 12-lead diagnostic electrocardiograph used for acquiring, viewing, and printing adult and pediatric 12-lead ECG data. The device is optionally equipped with Welch Allyn’s VERITAS™ resting ECG interpretation algorithm with age and gender specific criteria. If this option is enabled (see Section 4) the VERITAS algorithm can provide an over-reading physician with a silent second opinion through diagnostic statements output on the ECG report. For additional information on the VERITAS algorithm, please refer to the Physician’s Guide Adult and Pediatric user manual.
The device can be configured with expanded memory, bidirectional connectivity, and DICOM® protocol support, and operates on battery or line power.
Supported print formats for the ELI 150c include: standard or Cabrera 3, 3+1, 3+3, or 6 channel in automatic mode; 3 or 6 channel rhythm strip printing.
Supported print formats for the ELI 250c include: standard or Cabrera 3+1, 3+3, 6, 6+6, or 12 channel in automatic mode; 3, 6, or 12 channel rhythm strip printing.
With either model, during rhythm strip printing the user can toggle between the various channels (default leads, limb and chest leads, etc.) to print by selecting F2 (Leads). To suspend a rhythm strip print, press F6 (Stby); press F6 (Cont) to resume. Press STOP at any time to end rhythm strip printing.

EQUIPMENT PREPARATION
Initial Startup
With its initial use, the device requires the user to set certain configurations prior to obtaining any ECGs. The device will automatically display a language configuration page followed by AC filter frequency, height/weight units, a set time/date configuration page (including daylight savings time selection), and a configuration page to pair the WAM™ (wireless acquisition module) if it will be used. (Refer to the WAM user manual for detailed pairing instructions to the device.)
Connecting the Acquisition Module
Connect the AM12™ to the ECG connector at the rear of the device. When using the optional WAM for ECG acquisition, the connector is not required.
