Introducing the IntelliVue Information Center System

ST Segment
Monitoring
The Information Center system also provides ST segment analysis for adult patients
monitored via telemetry only. ST segments can be analyzed for up to six leads of ECG
monitoring, depending on the type of telemetry monitor and patient cable used, and for both
non-paced and atrially paced patients (but not ventricularly paced patients).
Note ST segment analysis for patients monitored by bedside monitors is performed at the bedside
monitor and is not available on the Information Center.
Details of displayed ST data, ST alarms, and user interfaces are provided in the IntelliVue
Information Center Instructions for Use. Details of the ST Segment algorithm are
described in the ST Segment Monitoring Application Note provided on the Documentation
CDROM.
EASI 12-Lead
ECG Review
and Report
If the bedside or telemetry system has the EASI 12-Lead capability (a method of deriving 12
ECG Leads using 5 electrodes), the clinician can view all available leads from the Patient
Window - see table below. In addition, the clinician can request a 12-Lead report. Details of
EASI 12-Lead ECG monitoring are provided in the Information Instruction for Use.
Patient Data
Review
The Information Center system has extensive patient data review capability. Patient Data
Review windows display patient physiological parameters and alarm events that have been
collected over time from bedside and telemetry monitors. Review windows can be designed in
a variety of formats to facilitate clinician evaluations of patient status and decisions of
diagnosis, prognosis, medication, and patient transfer and discharge.
The following review applications are accessible from the Patient Data Review buttons in
the All Controls window.
Alarm Review Alarm Review shows the alarm events that have been automatically stored during patient
monitoring and alarm strips that were saved for each alarm. A typical Alarm Review record
for a single display is shown in Figure 1-21. Stored alarms are those that were configured in
Alarm Management and Setup and have been stored in the alarm history database during
patient monitoring. Up to 50, 30-second alarms can be stored in the standard system and up to
150, 30-second alarms as a purchased option. Each stored alarm includes the date and time,
alarm text, and a 30-second compressed waveform. Systems with a single display can display
5 alarm strips, and systems with dual display, 10 alarm strips.
Saved strips are those that are manually saved from Wave Review, Event Review, or Alarm
Review windows. These strips are labeled “Saved” and can be viewed along with stored
alarms. Up to 10 strips can be saved in the standard system and up to 30 for the 150, 30-
