Pacer Detection
Pacer detection is used for paced patients in the adult and pediat-
ric monitoring modes. The monitor detects paced pulses in the
amplitude range of ±5 to ±700 mV. When pacer detection is
enabled, the letter “P” is added to the flashing ♥ symbol in the
HR parameter box for each paced beat. In addition, green positive
spikes on the ECG waveform indicate pacemaker pulses.
When monitoring paced patients, Dräger suggests the following:
! Use the electrode positions that are best suited for paced
patients (see the electrode placement section).
! Select the lead with the highest R-wave.
! Follow the pacemaker precautions given at the end of this
section (see ECG and HR Safety Considerations).
STEPS: Turning Pacer Detection ON/OFF
1. Select the HR parameter box and click the knob.
2. Click on
Pacer Detect.
3. Dial in the desired setting (
ON/OFF) and click the knob.
NOTE: The monitor indicates Pacer Off between the first two
waveform channels when pacer detection is set to Off.
