General Function Buttons
The general function buttons control monitoring or non-critical resuscitation activities. They include:
Mark Event button - allows you to insert a time-stamped annotation in the Event Summary
Report to note events as they occur, including the administration of certain drugs. A Mark Event
button label appears at the top left corner of the display.
Lead Select button - changes the ECG lead in Wave Sector 1. Pressing this button cycles
through the available ECG waves, changing the displayed wave and label. The list of available ECG
waves is based on the current lead set and device configuration, and includes pads or paddles, if the
corresponding cable is connected to the device.
Alarm Pause button - The Alarm Pause button pauses all visual and audible physiological alarms
and audible inops for the configured time interval. At the end of the pause interval, each alarm returns
to its previous setting (On or Off). Pressing the Alarm Pause button during the pause interval also
returns alarms to their previous settings.
Print button - The Print button initiates a continuous print-out of the primary ECG and other
selected waveform(s) either real-time or with a 10-second delay, depending on your configuration.
Summary button - The Summary button displays a menu from which you can print the current
or most recent Event Summary report or Vital Signs Trending Report.
Menu Select button - Pressing the Menu Select button either brings up the current menu or
confirms a menu selection.
Navigation buttons -The Navigation buttons display the current menu just as the Menu
Select button does. Additionally, within any menu or list, these buttons move to the next or previous
item in the list. They also increase or decrease numbers or values in a sequence.
