Placement
Image
Displays electrode placement and quality of each lead. Each lead quality
indicator changes color to red, yellow or green, based on its connection
status.
On the Acquisition screen, the image displays the real-time electrode
quality of each lead.
During review of a patient report, all electrode lead quality indicators are
turned off.
You can set up a lead condition indicator in settings, if the Hookup Advisor
level is configured as:
• Yellow, the image automatically expands when the Hookup Advisor
status is yellow or red in the Acquisition screen, or during preview of an
ECG patient report.
• Red, the image automatically expands when the Hookup Advisor
status is red in the Acquisition screen, or during preview of an ECG
patient report.
The image collapses during review of a patient report, irrespective of
the overall Hookup Advisor status.
• Never, the image does not automatically expand when the overall
Hookup Advisor status is yellow or red. Only the Hookup Advisor lead
quality status indicator and status messages display in the Notification
Area.
3 Lead Quality
Status Indicator
Displays three circles that change color to yellow, red, or green, based on
the overall lead quality. This indicator does not apply to review of rhythm
reports.
4 Status Bar Displays a solid color bar that matches the same color as the lead quality
status indicator. For example, if the lead quality status indicator is green,
the status bar displays a solid green color. In the pre-acquisition (refer to
ECG Acquisition Overview on page 69) mode , when the lead quality
status indicator changes from red or yellow to green, the status bar shows
a progress bar of acquiring 10 seconds of ECG data with good quality.
5 Notification
Area
Displays lead quality status messages indicating the specific problem in
each lead. Messages display one at a time. If there are more than one
failures, messages for red states display first. When you resolve a problem,
the next message displays. Continue to resolve the problems until the
