8-20 DELTA/DELTA XL/KAPPA VF8
8 ECG
AND HEART RATE
Cable Type When set to Auto Detect, the
monitor detects the number of
connected lead wires via a
MultiMed pod automatically. If
Auto Detect mode does not
detect the connected lead wires
(the ECG waveform is not
displayed or the message ECG
Leads Invalid or V+ Lead OFF
appears in the upper left corner
of your screen), you can
manually select the cable type.
The setting 10 (12 Lead)
denotes a combination of a
6-lead wire set and a 4-chest
lead wire set, or a 5-lead wire
set and 5-chest lead wire set for
12-lead monitoring.
NOTE: Verify the Cable Type
setting whenever you begin
ECG monitoring (the monitor
remembers the previous Cable
Type setting).
NOTE: The TruST selection
becomes unavailable when you
connect a MultiMed 6, MultiMed
Plus or a MultiMed Plus OR
cable and the Cable Type
setting is set to either: 3, or 5.
NOTE: The selection 10
(12 lead) is only available when
a MultiMed 12 pod is
connected.
• Auto Detect (default) – the monitor
compensates automatically for one
disconnected neutral lead. (This feature is
available only with the Auto Detect setting.)
•3
•5
•6
• 10 (12 Lead)
NOTE: The selected cable type determines how
many ECG leads are processed regardless of
which ECG cable is connected. For example, if
you connect a MultiMed 6, MultiMed Plus or
MultiMed Plus OR with a 6 lead wire set, but the
Cable Type is set to ‘5’, the monitor will only
process and display 7 leads. The V+ lead will
not be displayed, trended or broadcast to the
network in this case. However, the V+ lead will
still be displayed in the Show All screen. To
display all 8 leads you must set the Cable Type
to ‘6’.
ECG processing for QRS detection and
arrhythmia are still controlled with the QRS/ARR
Select menu setting (see page 8-23) and the
Lead Setup menu selections for Channel 1 and
Channel 2.
The ECG Options Submenu
This submenu allows you to configure the following functions.
Filter Controls the channel bandwidth
and displays a banner in the
ECG1 channel if the selection is
set to OFF or ESU.
No banner is displayed if you
select Monitor.
CAUTION: When the ESU
block or the MultiMed Plus OR
cable is in use, the detection of
pacemaker spikes could be
compromised.
• Click on OFF for maximum bandwidth and
greatest sensitivity to noise or artifact.
• Click on Monitor (default) to reduce baseline
drift, muscle artifact, and power line
interference (recommended for standard
monitoring, display, recording, and analog
output).
• Click on ESU to reduce signal distortion from
electrosurgical units (see page 8-6 for
information on electrosurgical safety).
