Analysis
For information on arrhythmia detection, refer to the following documentation:
• ST/AR Algorithm - Arrhythmia Monitoring Application Note,
#452298193051
• IntelliVue Information Center Instructions for Use and Online Help
IntelliVue Telemetry does not have a dedicated cardiotach. Instead, the
arrhythmia cardiotach at the Information Center is used. Therefore, the ST/AR
Arrhythmia algorithm is always on for all IntelliVue Telemetry patients, and
cannot be turned off.
ST/AR provides Heart Rate and PVC Rate numerics and alarm detection for the
conditions listed in the following table. There are two detection levels: Basic and
Enhanced. Enhanced includes the Basic alarms.
