Respiration Filter
(module only)
Filters signal artifact caused by cardiogenic
oscillations or Baines rebreathing bumps, which
could cause the monitor to display an
erroneously high respiration rate (RRc)
• Normal – Disables the
filter
•
Special – Enables this
filtering at the expense of
a certain degree of
monitor responsiveness
Apnea Alarm Displays the Apnea Alarm menu. • RRc Apnea Time
• Apnea Archive
