7.10 Relearning
Changes in ECG beat morphology could result in incorrect arrhythmia alarms and/or
inaccurate heart rate. ECG relearning allows the TM80 to learn the new dominant beat
morphology and thus reduce false arrhythmia alarms and inaccurate HR values. Once
learning is complete, the dominant QRS complex is stored as a reference template. The
reference template is used as the normal morphology of that patient and it is compared
with incoming beats to identify possible arrhythmias.
