8-14 Dash™ 3000/4000/5000 2000966-386D
Monitoring ECG
NOTE
It is possible (but not a normal operation), to admit a patient to both a telemetry
bed and a hardwired bed before entering COMBO mode. For example, bed101*
(telemetry) AND bed101 (monitor) are two separate beds for the same patient.
When you enter COMBO mode in this situation, the ECG setting source is
always telemetry.
ECG Setting Source When Exiting COMBO Mode
When discharging from telemetry, but remaining admitted to the monitor (exiting
COMBO mode), the ECG setting source (monitor or telemetry) depends on the
COMBO DEFAULT SOURCE selection.
TELE DEFINED — When exiting COMBO mode, the ECG settings return to
the monitor’s ECG custom defaults.
USER DEFINED — When exiting COMBO mode, the ECG settings for the
current patient persist until the patient is discharged from the monitor.
For both the TELE DEFINED and USER DEFINED options, when discharging from
the monitor (exiting COMBO mode), but remaining admitted to telemetry, the ECG
settings for the current patient persist until the patient is discharged from telemetry.
ECG Rate Averaging
To select the number of heart beat intervals used to generate an average heart rate,
follow this procedure. The factory default is eight beats.
1. Select MORE MENUS > MONITOR SETUP > MONITOR DEFAULTS >
SETUP DEFAULT DISPLAY.
2. Locate and select ECG RATE AVERAGING.
3. Select one of the following:
8 BEATS — Averages the eight most recent heart beat intervals. This is the
default setting.
4 BEATS — Averages the four most recent heart beat intervals to get a faster
response to the changes in a patient’s heart rate.
IntelliRate
To turn IntelliRate on, follow this procedure. When this option is enabled, the factory
default setting is on.
1. Select MORE MENUS > MONITOR SETUP > MONITOR DEFAULTS >
