Measuring ECG
6-6 ECG Monitoring
There is no cardiotach within the transceiver; cardiotach analysis resides in the
arrhythmia algorithm at the Information Center. Therefore, arrhythmia analysis
is always turned on for telemetry patients. Arrhythmia analysis is either Basic or
Enhanced, depending on the product configuration.
ECG Leads
