12-Lead Report
The 12-Lead Report View is in a format similar to Monitor View, so that you may monitor the patient
while viewing the report. In this view, the 12-Lead Report replaces Monitoring View’s Wave Sectors 3
and 4, as shown in Figure 66, and includes the following information, if configured:
Measurements - The measurements component of the algorithm generates standard interval and
duration measurements, in milliseconds, limb lead axis measurements, in degrees, and heart rate, in
beats per minute.
Interpretive statements - Measurements and patient information (age, gender, paced status) are used
by the Philips 12-Lead Algorithm to generate statements describing the patient’s cardiac rhythm and
waveform morphology. Statements regarding signal quality problems encountered during ECG
acquisition are also included in this section.
ECG severity - Each interpretive statement on the report has an associated severity. The severities of
all selected interpretive statements are assessed to determine an overall severity for the ECG. The
categories of severity are "No Severity," "Normal ECG," "Otherwise Normal ECG," "Borderline ECG,"
"Abnormal ECG," and "Defective ECG."
Stored and printed 12-Lead Reports can be configured to include all 12 leads, measurements, and
interpretive analysis statements.
One or two copies of the 12-Lead Report are printed at the completion of acquisition and/or analysis,
as configured. Press the [Print] soft key to print another copy. In addition to the information on
the displayed 12-Lead Report, the printed report includes up to three rhythm strips, with the
configured leads.
WARNING • Should an alarm condition occur while a 12-Lead Report is printing, an alarm strip is not printed,
however, the corresponding ECG waveform is stored and available in the Event Summary.
• Do not pull on the paper while a report is being printed. This can cause distortion of the waveform
and lead to potential misdiagnosis.
Accessing Stored Reports
You may access stored reports to print additional copies or delete the report from internal storage. You
may also copy the report to a data card. The list of stored reports for the current patient event may be
accessed while a report is displayed or from either the 12-Lead Acquire Screen or the 12-Lead Preview
Screen. To do this:
1 While in 12-Lead, press the Menu Select button.
2 Using the Navigation buttons, select Reports.
Reports for the current patient event are listed by date, time and sequence number.
3 Use the Navigation buttons to select a report and press the Menu Select button.
4 Select Print, Copy, or Delete and press the Menu Select button.
5 To select another report repeat steps 1 through 3, or press Exit to close the menu.
