ST Alarms
ST alarms are yellow alarms. Each ST lead has its own alarm limit. ST alarms are triggered when an ST
value exceeds its alarm limit for more than one minute. Switching ST alarms off switches off alarms for
all ST leads.
If more than one ST measurement is in alarm, the monitor only displays the alarm message of the ST
lead which is currently furthest from its set alarm limits.
Single- or Multi-lead ST Alarming
Be aware that if multi-lead ST alarming is switched on, only alarms involving more than one ST lead
will be announced.
To choose individual or multi-lead ST alarming,
•In the
Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Alarm Mode and select either Single ST or Multi ST.
Changing ST Alarm Limits
The monitor can detect alarms on each ST lead separately, so you can set high and low ST alarm limits
individually for each ST lead. You can also set separate alarm limits for single-lead and multi-lead ST
monitoring. Set the high and low alarm limits based on your assessment of the patient's clinical
condition, unit protocols, physician orders or medication specified limits. A good guideline is + 1.0
mm or - 1.0 mm from the patients's ST, or follow your hospital protocol.
1 In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Alarm Mode and select Single ST or Multi ST.
