Make sure that your administrator enables the AECG - Auto ECG option.
The system starts to automatically record an ECG:
• When AECG - Auto ECG option is enabled.
• If the Hookup Advisor status is green.
• If you are viewing the scrolling waveforms in the Live tab.
The automatic acquisition of ECG happens only once per patient connection.
The Stop Auto ECG icon displays the count of acquisition progress until you record
10 seconds of data. After acquiring 10 seconds of data with good signal quality, the
recording stops and a preview of the ECG patient report displays.
If you record the ECG before you enter patient information in the Patient Information
screen, you can edit patient information before accepting the preview. For more
information, see
