8.4 Understanding the ECG Display
Your display may be configured to look slightly different.
1. Lead label of the displayed wave
2. ECG gain
3. ECG filter label
4. Notch filter status
Besides, when a paced signal has been detected, the pace pulse marks “|” are shown on the ECG wave if the [Paced] has
been set to [Ye s ].
1. Current heart rate alarm limits
2. Current heart rate
3. Heart beat symbol
8.5 Changing ECG Settings
8.5.1 Accessing ECG Menus
By selecting the ECG parameter window or waveform area, you can access the [ECG Setup] menu.
8.5.2 Setting Pacemaker Rate (For Mortara ECG algorithm only)
Some pacemaker pulses can be difficult to reject. When this happens, the pulses are counted as a QRS complex and
could result in an incorrect HR and failure to detect some arrhythmias. You can set [Pacemaker Rate] to the pacemaker’s
rate in the [ECG Setup] menu. In this way, the monitor can calculate HR and detect arrhythmias more accurately. When
[Paced] is set to [No], the pacemaker rate cannot be set.
