This guide provides information about how to adjust the type of patient cable used in ECGpro with your Amedtec Cardiopart ECG device so that the correct labelling is shown on screen when performing an ECG test. There are two types you can set for lead labelling - American Standard (AHA) and European Standard (IEC).
