Dräger Infinity Delta - Multimed Pods for ST Analysis

MULTIMED PODS FOR ST ANALYSIS
VF8 DELTA/DELTA XL/KAPPA 10-3
MultiMed Pods for ST Analysis
Six-Lead ST Monitoring
The MultiMed 6, MultiMed Plus, or MultiMed Plus OR cables supports two chest
leads (V and V+). Six-lead ST monitoring is almost as accurate as 12-lead monitoring,
without some of the difficulties of electrode placement and management associated
with 12-lead monitoring.
TruST Twelve-Lead ST Monitoring
Infinity TruST is a Twelve-lead ECG obtained through the MultiMed 6 pod. TruST
twelve-lead ST processing requires installation of 12-lead Rest ECG (ARIES)
software option. TruST allows you to view the same number of leads as a six-lead
monitor with an additional four TruST leads. For more information, see 8-10.
Twelve-Lead ST Monitoring
Twelve-lead ST processing requires installation of 12-lead Rest ECG software option
for up to six chest leads (V
1
to V
6
) via the MultiMed 12 pod. Twelve-lead display and
QRS processing alone do not require this software option.
Twelve-lead ST monitoring, available for adult and pediatric patients, enhances the
accuracy of ST parameters. During 12-lead ST monitoring, the monitor trends all
twelve ST leads plus ST Vector Magnitude (STVM) and ST Change in Vector
Magnitude (STCVM):
 STVM is the magnitude (mm or mV) of the ST vector (the ECG vector at the
ST measurement point). A combination of the ST deviation values from all
twelve leads, it measures the ST level throughout the heart. STVM is,
therefore, a summary vector and a single parameter which can alert the
clinician of a change in ST level somewhere in the heart. It is trended and has
its own alarm limits.
 STCVM is the change of magnitude (mm or mV) between the current ST
vector and the ST vector at the time of the last reference. STCVM values also
show a change in the location of the ST vector over time.
WARNING: The NeoMed and MultiMed 12 pods are not
intended for use during electrosurgery. To protect patients
from burns, do not use these pods in an ESU environment.
See the section entitled “Safety Considerations” on page 6 in
these Instructions for Use for other important safety
precautions.
NOTE: If ARIES software is installed, the monitor may generate an ST alarm for
leads that are not displayed in the ST parameter box (see page C-8).
