Battery Use and Storage
• If two batteries are required, always use batteries of the same type.
• Although battery life may last longer than a recording, batteries should not be re-used for a
second patient.
• Do not leave batteries in the recorder for more than two weeks when the recorder is not in use.
• Store batteries at "room" temperatures (50-90 F) and in a dry location. Do not refrigerate or
freeze.
• Batteries should be disposed of following local ordinances.
• If you use rechargeable batteries:
• The battery recharger should be kept out of the patient environment and hook-up area
• It is best not to leave the batteries on charge for long periods of time after the charger
indicates a full charge
• Only standard chargers that are specifically rated for use with NiMH batteries should be
used such as the MAHA MH-204F or Rayovac 1-Hour charger
• Batteries that have not been used for over two weeks should be charged before use.
• It is best to keep pairs of batteries together so they are both discharged and charged together
• Follow warnings and recommendations that come with the charger
Leads and Electrodes
• Compatible with standard single-use silver/silver-chloride ECG electrodes
• Compatible with standard ECO Lead wires
• Patient electrodes should be left sterile in their original packaging until use - following
manufacturer's instruction - and then after use, disposed of following local ordinances and the
manufacturer's instruction
• Use only NorthEast Monitoring, Inc. shielded patient cables for connecting lead wires to the
recorder
• Patient lead wires and cables should be visually inspected between uses for worn or cracked
areas, and
• Worn lead wires and cables should be replaced before next use and disposed of following local
ordinances and the manufacturer's instructions
• Frequently used cables should be replaced at least every 6 months
• Do not remove the cable from the recorder after each use
• Do not wrap the lead wires tightly around the recorder after each use. This can damage them.
SD Cards
• The patient's data is stored in non-volatile memory internal to the recorder.
• For Holter recordings, patient data is stored in the recorder on a removable SD Card.
• For Event recordings, data is stored in non-volatile memory internal to the recorder and SD
cards are not required.
• There are some SD card types that may draw excessive power, and will drain the battery
prematurely. Therefore, if you purchase cards from a supplier other than NorthEast
Monitoring, Inc., it is recommended that you first test the SD card for a greater amount of time
than the expected use.
• If you have a new SD card that has not been formatted with a flash.dat file, you will need to use
your NorthEast Monitoring, Inc. Holter LX Analysis software to initialize the card for the first
time. If your software does not refer to your recorder, follow instructions for the SD360.
