Printing During the Stress Test
ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-45
Stage Printout and Event Printout
Stage printout and Event printout are 12-Lead ECG reports without any measurement or
interpretation during the stress testing. Stage printout is configured in the Protocol. Event
printout is printed if the printer type is configured.
The Stage printout is automatically generated if preconfigured. It prints out an average
report of the stage, which shows the average beat maximum ST changes in this stage as
well as the current ST change. This is defined for each stage of the exercise protocol when
an ECG is automatically generated for the stage.
The Event printout is triggered when you document patient symptoms using the Event
icon.
– Event symptoms include: Supine, Chest Pain, Shortness of Breath, Mason-Likar,
Standing, and Hyperventilation.
– You can also document a new event using this icon.
NOTE If enabled, Arrhythmia events can trigger automatic printing with the context ECG – which are
configurable to the user.
See the ST80i Installation and Configuration Guide for how to enable Arrhythmia events.
At the end of each stage, ST80i automatically prints an average report of this stage. This report
shows the average beat, maximum ST changes in this stage, as well as the current ST change.
You can also print at any time during the test from the Exercise screen to capture and store
events or snapshots for later review and reporting. The followingevents and snapshots can be
saved with notes:
Hyperventilation
Chest Pain
Shortness of Breath
User-defined urgent case
To record and print an Event, see “Recording an Event” on page 2-25.
