Supraventricular Arrhythmias
To set a supraventricular arrhythmia:
1. From the ECG screen, push  or  to highlight the Wave Group value.
2. Push .
3. Push  or  to highlight Supraventricular in the wave group list.
4. Push .
5. Push  or  to highlight the Waveform value.
6. Push .
7. Push  or  to highlight a waveform in the list.
8. Push  to set the arrhythmia waveform and go back to the ECG:
Supraventricular screen.
You can adjust the amplitude of all supraventricular arrhythmia waveforms. See
Set the ECG Parameters. ECG signal artifacts can also be added to each
arrhythmia signal. See Simulate an ECG Artifact.
The atrial fibrillation arrhythmia has one variable not available on the other
supraventricular arrhythmias. You can set the type variable to coarse or fine. To
change the type variable with the atrial fibrillation waveform set:
1. Push  or  to highlight the Type value.
2. Push .
3. Push  or  to highlight Coarse or Fine from the list.
4. Push  to set the arrhythmia type and go back to the ECG:
Supraventricular screen.
Premature Arrhythmias
The premature wave group arrhythmias simulate premature contraction of
muscle at different nodes of the heart. To do a premature arrhythmia:
1. From the ECG screen, push  or  to highlight the Wave Group value.
2. Push .
3. Push  or  to highlight Premature in the wave group list.
4. Push .
5. Push  or  to highlight the
Waveform value.
6. Push .
7. Push  or  to highlight a waveform in the list.
8. Push  to set the arrhythmia waveform and go back to the ECG:
Supraventricular screen.
You can adjust the amplitude of all premature arrhythmia waveforms. See Set
the ECG Parameters. ECG signal artifacts can also be added to each
arrhythmia signal. See Simulate an ECG Artifact.
