V Series Operating Instructions 9 - 29
ECG – Arrhythmia Arrhythmia Alarms
9.7.2.7 PVCs/Minute
The PVCs/Minute alarm is activated when the number of PVCs detected per minute exceeds the
configured threshold. The PVC limit can be set to 1 to 30 PVCs per minute.
The PVCs/minute default alarm is a Low level alarm event that produces:
• Low level visual and audio alarm indicators.
•A PVCs/Minute text message above the digital tile.
NOTE: During periods of Ventricular Rhythms, V-Tach, V-Fib and Asystole,
PVCs/Minute are not shown.
9.7.2.8 Pauses/Minute
The Pauses/Minute alarm is activated when the number of pauses detected per minute exceeds the
configured threshold. The Pauses/Minute limit can be set to 1 to 15 Pauses per minute.
The Pauses/Minute default alarm is a Medium level alarm event that produces:
• Medium level visual and audio alarm indicators.
•A Pauses/Minute text message above the digital tile.
9.7.2.9 Run
The Run alarm is activated when the number of consecutive PVCs occur at a rate that equals or
exceeds the user defined V-Tach Rate. The number of consecutive PVCs that constitute a Run is one
beat less than the minimum used to identify V-Tach.
The Run default alarm is a Medium level alarm event that produces:
• Medium level visual and audio alarm indicators.
•A Run text message above the ECG1 waveform area.
9.7.2.10 Trigeminy
The Trigeminy alarm is activated when three or more cycles of one PVC coupled to two normal
beats are detected. This rhythm could also cause an Irregular HR alarm.
The Trigeminy default alarm is a Low level alarm event that produces:
• Low level visual and audio alarm indicators.
•A Trigeminy text message above the primary waveform area.
9.7.2.11 Ventricular Rhythm (V-Rhythm)
The V-Rhythm alarm is activated when more than two (2) consecutive PVCs occur at a rate that is less
than the user defined V-Tach Rate.
The V-Rhythm default alarm is a Medium level alarm event that produces:
• Medium level visual and audio alarm indicators.
•A Ventricular Rhythm text message above the primary waveform area.
