VF8 DELTA/DELTA XL/KAPPA 12-7
RESP marker Superimposes a vertical line on the
RESP waveform when the monitor
detects a breath. If the monitor
displays the RESP marker because
of artifact or other interference, set
the breath detection threshold to
only count valid breaths:
1. Set the mode to Manual.
2. Enable RESP Marker.
3. Click on Size.
4. Set the Size value at the lowest
value where the RESP marker
appears.
NOTE:
• RESP markers are not transmitted
over the network and do not
appear on remote views or
recordings.
• The RESP marker indicates the
time of breath detection, not the
beginning or end of respiration.
•ON
•OFF
Coincidence
Detect
Identifies when the respiration rate
is within 20% of the heart rate,
indicating that the monitor may be
counting heart beats as respiration.
WARNING: Respiration/heart rate
coincidence could mask an
apnea condition.
NOTE: Enable respiration alarms
before setting Coincidence Detect
to ON.
• ON; The RESP Coincidence message
appears whenever respiration/heart rate
coincidence is detected (default for
Neonatal patient monitoring).
• OFF; the monitor does not detect
respiration/heart rate coincidence (default
for adult and pediatric patient monitoring).
