Monitor View 4: ECG Monitoring
53
Monitor View
You primarily monitor your patient’s ECG waveform in Monitor View by turning the Therapy knob
to Monitor.
In Monitor View, you can review three waves simultaneously while monitoring all current vital sign
parameters. See Figure 42.
Selecting the Waveform
The Efficia DFM100 allows you to configure the lead displayed as the primary ECG lead in Wave
Sector 1 when the device is turned on. The factory default is Lead II. See “Waves Settings” on
page 154.
When you first turn the Efficia DFM100 on in Manual Defibrillation, Synchronized Cardioversion
or Monitor modes or switch into one of those modes, the default lead is displayed in Wave Sector 1.
If the default lead is not available or is of poor quality, the device automatically searches for the ECG
lead with the best quality and displays that new lead in Wave Sector 1. The device searches for an
active ECG source in the following order: default lead, II, Pads (or Paddles), I, III.
You can also change the waveform for each sector during a patient event. How to change a waveform
differs depending if you are in AED Mode or not.
Non-AED Mode
The ECG wave for Wave Sector 1 is selected through the Lead Select button (see “General
Function Buttons” on page 25) or through the Displayed Waves menu. The waves for Wave Sectors
2 and 3 are selected through the Displayed Waves menu only.
To select a waveform using the Displayed Waves menu:
1 Press the Smart Select knob.
2 Turn the Smart Select knob to highlight
and press the Smart Select knob (see
Figure 43).
3 Select the wave sector you want to modify and press the Smart Select knob.
4 Select the new wave type you want and press the Smart Select knob.
