MESSAGES
VF6 Infinity Vista 5-15
Message: ECG Artifact
HR parameter value:
***
ST<lead1>/ST<lead2>
parameter value:
<blank>
Patient’s movement.
Shivering, tremors.
Excessive signal noise.
Bad contact of electrodes.
Interference from auxiliary
equipment.
• Calm the patient.
• Check the electrodes.
• Apply the electrodes carefully.
• Secure the electrodes.
• Observe good skin preparation
techniques.
• Isolate the patient from auxiliary
equipment, if possible.
• If the artifact message is frequent,
contact your Biomed to check the
setting of the notch 50/60 Hz filter.
Message: HR Too
High
Parameter value: +++
The patient’s heart rate falls
outside the upper range (300 beats
per minute).
• Observe the patient carefully.
• Apply treatment if clinically
indicated.
Message: HR>UL
<value>
Message: HR <LL
<value>
Parameter value:
<value>
The patient’s heart rate falls
outside the current upper or lower
alarm limits.
The current alarm limits are
inappropriate for this patient
• Observe the patient carefully.

The M
ULTIMED/NEOMED pod is
disconnected from the monitor.
• Verify the pod connections.
Message: Pacer Off Pacer detection is not selected. • If you are monitoring a paced
patient, select the pacer detection
function.
Message: V Fib
Parameter value: VF
Detection of a ventricular
fibrillation. The ventricular rhythm is
chaotic.
• Observe the patient and treat if
clinically indicated.
• View each lead on the monitor
and check the amplitude. To
detect the QRS, the amplitude
should be at least 0.5 mV on the
mV scale.
• Reposition or change the
electrodes if the amplitude is still
low.
• Use good skin preparation.
