5 - 2
5.2.2 Checking Paced Status
WARNING
• For paced patients, you must set [Paced] to [Yes]. If it is incorrectly set to [No], the equipment could
mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm when the ECG signal is too weak. Do not rely entirely
on rate meter alarms when monitoring patients with pacemakers. Always keep these patients under
close surveillance.
• For non-paced patients, you must set [Paced] to [No]. If it is incorrectly set to [Yes], the equipment
may be unable to detect premature ventricular beats (including PVCs).
• On ventricular paced patients, episodes of Ventricular Tachycardia may not always be detected.
• Do not rely entirely upon the system’s automated arrhythmia detection algorithm. Keep pacemaker
patients under close surveillance.
5.3 Changing ECG Settings
5.3.1 Setting the ECG Filter
NOTE
• For paced patients, you must set [Paced] to [Yes]. If it is incorrectly set to [No], the system may
mistake an internal pace pulse for a QRS or fail to alarm when the pacer is broken.
5.3.2 Switching On or Off the Notch Filter
NOTE
N
• The setting of [Notch Filter] will not be changed by restoring to factory default settings nor shutting
down the system.
5.4 Arrhythmia Analysis
WARNING
• Arrhythmia analysis program is intended to detect ventricular arrhythmias. It is not designed to
detect supraventricular arrhythmias. It may incorrectly identify the presence or absence of an
arrhythmia. Therefore, a physician must analyze the arrhythmia information with other clinical
findings.
• Atrial fibrillation (Afib) detection function is not intended for pediatric and neonatal patients.
• Arrhythmia analysis is not intended for neonatal patients.
5.4.1 Changing Arrhythmia Alarm Settings
NOTE
• The alarm level for asystole, ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular bradycardia,
extreme bradycardia, and extreme tachycardia alarms is always high and unchangeable. These
alarms are always on. As long as the alarm condition occurs, corresponding alarm will be triggered
whether arrhythmia analysis is switched on or off.
