The Patient Session
3-42 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use
Printing During the Stress Test
At any time during the stress test, you can trigger real-time ECG (a real-time ECG is defined
as 10 seconds of ECG data) and continuous Rhythm printing using the icons displayed on the
Exercise screen. The time latency should be less than 7 seconds. You can also capture and
store events for later review and reporting. The events can be saved with notes and can be
printed with the context ECG data.
Arrhythmia events can trigger automatic printing with the context ECG, if configured. In
addition, you can also turn off the continuous printing both on the configuration and during the
test.
