Accessories, Cables, and External Connections Warnings
The S4 telemetry transmitter is designed to meet applicable specifications when using Mortara-approved patient
cables and accessories. Use of non-approved cables and accessories may result in reduced performance and
may pose possible patient and user safety concerns.
It is the user’s responsibility to use only approved supplies, accessories and internal parts available through
Mortara Instrument, Inc. Product performance and patient safety require the use of supplies, accessories and
internal parts that comply with applicable standards. To maintain designed operator and patient safety,
peripheral equipment and accessories used that can come in direct patient contact must be in compliance with
applicable standards as appropriate to the telemetry transmitter. Additionally, cables and accessories must
comply with all EMC regulations. In Europe, cables and accessories should bear the CE Mark. Only use parts
and accessories supplied with the telemetry transmitter and available through Mortara Instrument, Inc.
Do not use excessive force on any of the connection cables and handle all accessories with care.
Proper clinical procedure must be employed to prep the electrode and sensor sites and to monitor the patient for
excessive skin irritation, inflammation, or other adverse reactions. Electrodes and other sensors are intended for
short-term use and should be removed from the patient promptly following use.
Conductive parts of the ECG patient cables, electrodes, and associated connections of type CF applied parts,
including the neutral conductor of the patient cable and electrode should not come into contact with other
conductive parts including earth ground.
To avoid the possibility of serious injury or death during patient defibrillation, do not come into contact with
telemetry transmitter or patient cables. Additionally, proper placement of defibrillator paddles in relation to the
ECG electrodes is required to minimize harm to the patient.
Mortara-approved manufacturers of accessories provide separate user manuals (e.g., patient cables, electrodes,
etc.). Read these manuals thoroughly and refer to them for specific functions. It is recommended to keep all
manuals together.
To maintain safety and effectiveness, ECG electrodes and reusable sensors and must not be used beyond their
expiration date or useful life.
All accessories including cables, connectors and other patient-applied parts supplied with the S4 do NOT
contain any Latex. If the patient develops an allergic reaction or rashes, immediately remove the accessory and
inform Mortara Technical Support.
Use with Electro Surgery Devices Warnings
Do not use the S4 while ESU is actively used on a patient. The S4 may not render an ECG while an ESU is being
actively used on the connected patient.
ECG Warnings
Excessive patient movement could interfere with the operation of the system.
Proper patient preparation is important to proper application of ECG electrodes and operation of the telemetry
transmitter.
7
ECG electrodes could cause skin irritation; patients should be examined for signs of irritation or inflammation.
12-lead ECGs acquired through S4 will normally use a modified lead system with the limb electrodes
positioned on the torso. Although this is a generally accepted practice (e.g., in stress testing), the different
electrode positions can cause morphology changes on the ECG, thus influencing their interpretation. Most
frequently seen differences are a vertical and rightward axis shift, minor changes of evidence of old inferior
infarction and changes in the T-wave in the limb leads. It is recommended that you place the electrodes as
close as possible to the normal limb positions avoiding the possibility of causing artifact. The right arm and left
arm electrodes should be placed on the clavicles as close as possible to the arms. The left leg electrode should
be placed as close as possible to the left leg without subjecting it to the possibility of motion artifact.
During periods of lead fail and when a reduced lead set is used for the S4 telemetry transmitter, 12-lead ECG
interpretation cannot be reliably used in determining a diagnosis.
8

7. ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATABILITY (EMC)
When using the telemetry transmitter, assess the electromagnetic environment affected by surrounding devices.
An electronic device may either generate or receive electromagnetic interference. Testing for electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) has been performed on the telemetry transmitter according to the applicable international
standards.
The telemetry transmitter should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If the telemetry
transmitter is used in this manner, verify the telemetry transmitter operates in an acceptable manner in the
configuration in which it will be used.
Fixed, portable, and mobile radio frequency communications equipment may affect the performance of medical
equipment. See Table X-4 for recommended separation distances between the radio equipment and the telemetry
transmitter.
The use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those specified by Mortara Instrument may result in
increased emissions or decreased immunity of the equipment.

11. PATIENT PREPARATION FOR QUALITY ECG
Overview
Quality ECG Data Acquisition
The ECG electrodes sense the electrical signals generated by the electrical activity of the heart as it beats. The S4
transmitter amplifies the signals so they can be displayed on the screen.
The S4 transmitter is configured to a specific Surveyor Acquisition Module (SAM) and appropriate ECG cable. The
12-Lead SAM uses the LeadForm 12 lead ECG cable.
Obtaining quality ECG data is important in continuous ECG monitoring. A quality ECG signal depends largely on
the patient prep and electrode placement. Direct contact between the electrodes and the patient's skin and correct
placement of the electrode can help ensure obtaining quality ECG data.
A good quality ECG contains:
Discernible P waves, QRS complexes, and T waves.
Good R wave detection.
Steady, even, crisp baseline.
Absent of respiratory variability, artifact, noise, and other interference.
A good quality ECG may enhance the performance of the arrhythmia algorithm and may lessen false erroneous
alarm notifications.
A poor quality ECG may be caused by many factors:
Poor site preparation may lead to poor quality ECG data.
Poor electrode application may lead to poor quality ECG data.
Patient movement may lead to poor quality ECG data.
Interference by other equipment in the room may lead to poor quality ECG data.
Poor quality ECG becomes synonymous with artifact and interference in the ECG waveforms.
A poor quality ECG may manifest in several ways:
Superfluous baseline artifact.
Erratic baseline.
Sharp “spikes.”
Rolling, wandering waveforms as seen with patient breathing patterns.
Difficult to discern P waves from atrial fib waves from noise.
Poor R wave detection.
Inability to discern P waves, QRS complexes, T waves.
Artifact and interference in the ECG waveforms may be caused by using accessories, lead wires, and ECG cables
other than those specified to work with the S4 telemetry transmitters. Always use accessories, lead wires, ECG
cables, and other accessories specified to work with the S4 telemetry transmitters.
36
Skin Preparation
In continuous ECG monitoring, the goal of skin preparation is to maximize the surface area of direct contact
between the patient’s skin and the ECG electrode. Follow the facility’s standard of care when preparing the
patient’s skin for ECG electrode placement and ECG monitoring.
To prepare the patient’s skin for electrode placement:
1. Explain the procedure to the patient.
2. Maintain patient privacy during skin prep and electrode placement.
3. Locate the correct anatomical landmarks for electrode placement.
4. Clip or shave excess hair in the areas marked for electrode placement.
5. Remove residual skin oils, creams, and lotions by gently abrading the skin with a small gauze pad.
NOTE: With elderly or frail patients take care to not abrade the skin causing discomfort or bruising.
Clinical discretion should always be used in patient preparation.
Electrode Placement
To apply electrodes:
1. Use pre-gelled, Ag/AgCl disposable electrodes.
a. Do not use electrodes after their expiration date, or if the gel has dried out.
Store electrodes in an air tight container.
Electrodes dry out if not stored properly leading to loss of adhesion and conductivity.
b. Always use the same electrodes.
Do not mix electrode brands or types.
Using different types of electrodes may cause a fluctuation in the impedance and this can lead to
baseline artifact and noise in the ECG tracing.
2. Apply the electrodes in the following manner:
a. Attach the electrode to the ECG lead wires prior to attaching the electrode to the patient’s chest.
b. Place the electrode in the properly prepared, correct location by using a circular motion on the
electrode adhesive area.
c. Gently press the electrode adhesive to the patient’s skin until the entire outer surface of the electrode is
adhered to the patient’s chest.
d. Once the electrode adhesive is attached, gently press on the gel area to ensure proper gel to chest
contact. Avoid dislodging the gel as the displaced gel can increase baseline artifact and noise in the
ECG tracing.
e. Test for firm electrode contact by slightly tugging on the electrode to check for adhesion among the
entire electrode surface. If the electrode moves freely, change the electrode. If the electrode does not
move easily, a good adhesive contact has been obtained.
Refer to the Electrode Location section in this manual for further details on correct anatomical landmarks for
electrode placement.
Best Practice Recommendation: Change electrodes as per hospital standard of care, or at least every 24 hours to
enhance patient skin care and the acquisition of quality ECG data. Clinical discretion should always be used in
patient preparation.

Pacemaker patients may require a modified electrode placement based on the physical location of the patient’s
pacemaker generator device. Do not place an ECG electrode directly over the pacemaker generator as this may lead
to artifact and noise on the ECG tracings.
The S4 will reject pacemaker spikes shorter than 300 µs. The S4’s integrated acquisition module will detect and
report pacemaker spikes up to 2 ms width and amplitudes specified to meet the appropriate IEC standard. Spikes
markers will be placed on the sample where the spike is detected.
Electrode Locations for 12 Lead ECG
The S4 telemetry transmitter must be configured with the 12 Lead Surveyor Acquisition Module (SAM)
and the 12-lead LeadForm ECG cable set.
The LeadForm patient cable consists of lead wires and connector block that connects to the 12-Lead SAM
module attached to the S4 telemetry pack. Each lead wire terminates in a snap connector.
Before attaching electrodes, review the next section “Quality ECG Data Acquisition” regarding skin
preparation and electrode placement. Attach electrodes per these recommendations.
The lead wires are positioned on the main cable to follow the contour of the torso.
Insert the ECG connector into the input connector on the 12 Lead SAM of the S4 telemetry pack.

Using the LeadForm 12-lead Cable
The 12 Lead SAM may be used for continuous simultaneous monitoring of 12 vectors of ECG. Arrhythmia and ST
analysis on all 12 ECG leads may be performed by the telemetry transmitter when the AM12 is in use.
Refer to the Arrhythmia and ST sections in this manual for further details.
The following diagram describes the recommended electrode placement for using the AM12 in a continuous
monitoring mode.

L (yellow) LA (black) Just below the left clavicle.
N (black) RL (green) Lower right edge of the rib cage.
F (green) LL (red) Lower left edge of the rib cage.
C1 (white) V1 (brown) 4th intercostal space, right sternal border.
C2 (yellow) V2 (yellow) 4th intercostal space, left sternal border.
C3 (green) V3 (green) Midway between C2/V2 and C4/V4.
C4 (brown) V4 (blue) 5th intercostal space, mid-clavicular line.
C5 (black) V5 (orange) Left anterior axillary line at C4/V4 level.
C6 (purple) V6 (purple) Mid-axillary line at C4/V4 and C5/V5 levels.
For accurate V-lead placement and monitoring, it is important to locate the 4th intercostal space. The 4th intercostal
space is determined by first locating the 1st intercostal space.
Because patients vary with respect to body shape, it may be difficult to palpate the 1st intercostal space with
accuracy. Thus, locate the 2nd intercostal space by first palpating the little bony prominence called the Angle of
Lewis, where the body of the sternum joins the manubrium.
This rise in the sternum identifies where the second rib is attached, and the space just below it is the 2nd intercostal
space. Palpate and count down the chest until the 4th intercostal space is located.

Checking ECG Electrode and Lead Wire Signal Quality
Once the patient has been properly prepared, the electrodes attached and in the correct anatomical location, the
patient ECG cable is connected to the S4 the ECG Display screen display should display the ECG tracing.
Check to ensure the ECG tracing is free of artifact and noise with a clean ECG baseline as per patient condition
permits. If the ECG contains artifact or noise, return to the Hook Up Screen to view lead interface quality and
review the steps for proper electrode site preparation and placement.
