Heart Rate Meter
The Heart Rate meter displays the heart rate that it derives from the ECG monitoring function
(by default) or from a monitoring function that you specify. If the ECG (or user-specified
monitor function) measurements are not available, the Heart Rate meter derives the heart rate
from the following monitoring functions, if they are available, in this order: User-selected
default source, ECG, IBP channel 1, SpO
2
, IBP channel 2, IBP channel 3, and NIBP. The Heart
Rate meter is labeled
HR (as in the following example) if the source is ECG, and PR if any
other source is used.
Note: The Heart Rate meter displays heart rates below 20 as three dashes (
---) and heart rates
above 300 as three plus signs (
+++).
