ct330/331 and seca diagnostic 5.9
Resting phase
The resting phase begins after Start. This phase proceeds according to
the settings in the profile selection, it has a minimum duration of ten
seconds.
Stress phase
The stress phase then begins. This phase proceeds according to the
profile. Manual load changes can be made at any time. The Next Stage
button can be used to end the current load level and start the next load
level.
Note on treadmill profiles: The treadmill can be stopped using the Stop
button, e.g. if a lactate measurement should be conducted. The treadmill
will be restarted by clicking on the button again. Always warn the patient
before you stop or start the treadmill!
Entering an unconfirmed report during recording
Open the Context menu and select Report. Enter the unconfirmed report
in the large text field. To save your input, click on Confirm. By pressing
Cancel, the unconfirmed report is closed without any changes being
applied.
If the Unconfirmed report option is active in the Settings, seca diagnostic
generates an automatic unconfirmed report which is displayed in the
evaluation. This option is enabled by default and can be disabled under
Stress ECG, Settings, Diagnostic, Reports.
All unconfirmed reports produced by the system should
be considered as suggestions only. For diagnosis and therapy purposes
it is essential that the results are checked and assessed by a qualified
physician.
Recovery phase, ending the recording
The recovery phase can be started using the Recovery phase button,
e.g., when the Manual end option was selected in the profile selection or
as a result of a premature termination. Define the end of the stress
phase (immediately or at the end of the load stage). The dialogue for
entering the reason for end is then opened. The reason for end can be
displayed in the evaluation.
If the end of the stress phase is defined in the profile, the recovery
phase starts automatically after the last load level has expired. The
recovery phase proceeds according to the profile.
If you would like to end the ECG recording but the ECG signal should
still be displayed on the screen, click on Stop. Otherwise, the recording
will be automatically saved, measured and displayed as an evaluation
by clicking on the End button (bottom right).
