Respiratory Rate
■ Respirations are detected by
measuring thoracic
impedance. Respirations can
be monitored in Lead I for
chest breathers or Lead II for
abdominal breathers.

Lead:
– Select RESPIRATION.
– Select LEAD.
– This option switches
between Lead I and
Lead II.
– Select MAIN MENU to
exit.
NOTE: Changing the leads automatically starts the relearning
process.
■ Relearn Respiration: This
option may be necessary if
the patient’s breathing
pattern has changed or the
monitor is not calculating the
respiratory rate correctly.
This process takes eight
breaths to complete.
• To Relearn the Respiration:
– Select RESPIRATION.
– Select RELEARN.
– A learning message will
appear in the respirations
parameter window.
– Select MAIN MENU to
exit.
