Using the Resp Parameter Control Panel
To configure alarms through the Resp Parameter Control Panel, use the navigation keys to
highlight and select the Respiration Rate meter and display the
Resp Parameter Control Panel:
Figure 7-1 Respiration Parameter Control Panel
The Resp Parameter Control Panel allows you to set the following parameters:
• RR/BR Alarm -- enable/disable the Resp alarm and set high/low alarm limits.
• No Breath Alarm -- sets the duration of the No Breath alarm, or disables alarm by selecting
“Off”.
• Resp Monitoring -- enable/disable respiration monitoring.
• Resp Lead -- selects the Resp lead, Lead I (RA-LA) or Lead II (RA-LL), from which the X
Series unit calculates the respiration rate. Resp Lead selection is independent of ECG Lead
selection.
• CO2/Resp Sweep Speed -- sets the respiratory sweep speed on the display.
Enabling/Disabling Resp Monitoring
Select the Resp Monitoring prompt to enable or disable Resp monitoring. When Resp
Monitoring is set to On (the default), the X Series unit displays the Respiration Rate Meter.
When set to off, X Series removes the Respiration Rate meter from the display.
Warning! When using impedance pneumography, the X Series unit automatically rejects
cardiovascular artifact (CVA). This function requires the accurate ECG R-wave
detection. Therefore, always select the ECG lead with the most prominent QRS complex
when using impedance pneumography to monitor respiration.
