OVERVIEW
VF6 Infinity Vista 9-3
Arrhythmia Monitoring Modes
Label Event Description
OFF: The monitor detects these events when Arrhythmia = OFF (via ECG)
ASY Asystole 4 seconds pass without the detection of a valid QRS
complex
VF Ventricular
Fibrillation
The monitor identifies a sinusoidal waveform with
fibrillation characteristics
Basic: The monitor detects these additional events when Arrhythmia = Basic
VT Ventricular
Tachycardia
N* or more consecutive PVCs with a beat-to-beat rate >=
the VT rate
BRDY** Sinus
Bradycardia
8 or more consecutive normal beats with an average rate
<= the BRDY rate
Full: The monitor detects these additional events when Arrhythmia = Full
RUN Ventricular
Run
3 to N-1* consecutive PVCs with a beat-to-beat rate >= the
VT rate
AIVR Accelerated
Idioventricular Rhythm
3 or more PVCs with a rate < the VT rate
SVT Supraventricular
Tachycardia
N* or more consecutive normal beats with a beat-to-beat
rate >= the SVT rate
CPT Ventricular
Couplet
A sequence of beats with the pattern: normal, PVC, PVC,
normal
BGM Ventricular
Bigeminy
A sequence of beats with the pattern: normal, PVC,
normal, PVC, normal
TACH Sinus
Tachycardia
N* or more consecutive normal beats with a beat-to-beat
rate >= the TACH rate
PAUS Pause A sequence of two normal beats with an N-N* interval >
the Pause rate times the average N-N interval (±100ms)
ARTF Artifact A sinusoidal signal with a frequency of 10 to 20 Hz and an
amplitude > 0.4 mV p-p, or with a frequency of 0.25 to
10 Hz and an amplitude > 10 mV p-p
* N is the event count set on the Arrhythmia Setup Table.
** In neonatal mode, you can set alarm limits for BRDY in the Alarm Limits table and the
monitor alarms upon a limit violation for this event.
