Monitoring ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Arrhythmia Monitoring
TM80 Telemetry Monitor Operator’s Manual 7 - 27
7.7.4 Intelligent Arrhythmia Alarm
Normally, an arrhythmia alarm is presented when an alarm condition is detected. How-
ever, there are certain situations that can inhibit audible and visible alarm indications
even though an alarm condition was detected.
7.7.4.1 Arrhythmia Alarm Chains
If multiple alarms overlap, announcing all of the detected alarm conditions would be
confusing, and a more serious condition might be overlooked. So arrhythmia alarms are
prioritized by alarm “chains”.
NOTE
• If any of the lethal arrhythmia alarms is switched off, the ECG waveform
area at the TM80 displays the “Lethal Arrhys Off” message. The ECG
waveform area on the screen of the CMS displays Asystole, V-Fib/V-Tach,
or V-Tach Off depending on the actual lethal arrhythmia alarm.
