10.6 Arrhythmia Analysis
10.6.1 Overview
The monitor uses the user-selected primary or secondary ECG lead for arrhythmia analysis. In
clinical application, the medical professionals can use the arrhythmia analysis to evaluate
patients’ condition (such as heart rate, PVCs rate, rhythm and ectopic beat) and give proper
treatment.
The arrhythmia analysis of the monitor has the following characteristics:
Applicable to the monitoring of a patient either with a pacemaker or without a pacemaker.
Disabled in the factory configuration.
Capability of raising the doctor’s attention to the patient’s heart rate, by measuring and
classifying the arrhythmia and the abnormal heartbeat and triggering the alarm.
Capability of storing the latest 80 alarm events (including the ECG waveform respectively 4
seconds before and after the alarm), when performing the arrhythmia analysis. You can
review the arrhythmia events through the menu below.
WARNING
z The arrhythmia analysis program is intended to detect ventricular arrhythmias. It
is not intended to dectect atrial or supraventricular arrhythimias. Occasionally it
may incorrectly identify the presence or absence of an arrhythmia. Therefore a
physician must analyze the arrhythmia information in conjunction with more
clinical findings.
z The arrhythmia detection is not intended for neonatal patients.
