5.4 Checking Paced Status
It is important to set the paced status correctly when you
start monitoring ECG.
If the【Pace】status has been set to【Ye s】, If the system
detects paced signal, the symbol “︱” will be marked on the
ECG wave.
To change the paced status, you can review 3.7 Patient
Information Setting.
Warning:
For paced patients, you must set 【Paced】to【Yes】.
If it is incorrectly set to【No】, the monitor could
mistake pace pulses for regular QRS complexes and
fail to alarm during asystole.
Some pace pulses can be difficult to reject. When this
happens, the pulses are counted as a QRS complex, and
could result in an incorrect HR and failure to detect
cardiac arrest or some arrhythmias. Keep pacemaker
patients under close observation.
For non-paced patients, you must set【Paced】to【No】,
otherwise, the system cannot detect the arrhythmia
