■Patient Cable Connectors
•All patient cable connectors
are located on the side of the
monitor.
■Definition of Terms
•Hardwire: This means that
the ECG signal is being
acquired from a cable
attached to the patient and
connected to a bedside
monitor.
•Telemetry: This means that
the ECG signal is being
acquired from a telemetry
transmitter/transceiver. This
patient is able to ambulate
without being limited by a
cable.
•TTX: Refers to a telemetry
transmitter/transceiver.

■Silence Alarm
•Pressing the Silence Alarm key
once will silence an active
alarm for one minute. The
message SILENCED will
appear on the display. Any
new alarm at an equal or
greater priority will sound.
NOTE: If Crisis Alarm Breakthrough is set in defaults, all crisis
alarms will break through Alarm Silence and Alarm Pause.
•Pressing the Silence Alarm key
twice if an alarm is sounding
will start an ALARM PAUSE.
The length of pause will vary
depending on the monitor’s
mode. The message ALARM
PAUSE will appear on the
display.
NOTE: Alarm Pause Lengths:
— Adult ICU Mode: 5 minutes.
— Neonatal ICU Mode: 3 minutes.
— Operating Room Mode: 5 minutes. 15 minutes,
Alarm Paused (permanent pause).
•Alarms will reactivate if the
Silence Alarm key is pressed
again.
•An Alarm Pause will
immediately be activated if
the Silence Alarm key is
pushed in the absence of an
alarm.

■Skin Preparation and Lead
Placement:
The quality of the signal
received from the electrodes is a
direct result of skin prep and
lead placement.
•Clip or shave hair from
application sites.
•Gently rub the area with a
gauze pad to remove dead
skin cells.
•Cleanse site with alcohol or
mild soap and water.
•Dry skin completely.
•Apply electrodes according
to manufacturers
recommendations.

■Detect Pace: Turns pacemaker
detection On/Off.
•Two different options of
pacemaker modes are
available. The clinician must
judge which mode is best for
each patient. Pace 2 is the
recommended pacemaker
detection mode. Pace 1
should be used if Pace 2 does
not adequately detect
pacemaker spikes.
•To Activate or Deactivate the
Pacemaker Mode:
–Select ECG.
–Select DETECT PACE.
–Turn the Trim Knob in
front of the desired
pacemaker mode and press
to select.
–Select MAIN MENU to
exit.
NOTE: A “P”appears in the ECG parameter window when pace
detection is enabled. An “*”will appear if a paced beat is
detected.
■Pace 2 Mode: Analyzes
waveforms with the added
capability of minimizing the
chance of counting severe
residual pacemaker energy as a
QRS complex. Pace 2 may not
adequately detect all QRS
morphologies. Arrhythmia calls
such as Asystole or Pause may
be made with heart rate
identified as less than actual.
NOTE: Pacemaker patients should be kept under close
observation.
■Pace 1 Mode: Analyzes the
presence of pacer spikes,
assesses the waveform for
residual pacemaker energy and
determines the presence of an
R-wave following the pacemaker
spike. If an event occurs during
the first few milliseconds
following the spike, it will be
counted as a paced spike.

■Guidelines for Successful
Pacemaker Monitoring:
•Multi-vector pace detection is
determined by simultaneous
analysis of the displayed ECG
Lead and the Vector Lead.
•Adequate pacemaker
detection is directly
dependant on the quality of
the ECG waveform. Proper
skin preparation and
electrode placement are
essential.
•Ensure that the pace detection
mode is activated.
•All detected pacemaker spikes
will appear upright, uniform
and white on the display
screen.
•If the monitor is not
adequately detecting
pacemaker spikes —
as evidenced by heart rate
double counting, pacemaker
spikes not detected, alarms for
low heart rate or asystole —
it is recommended that you
change the electrode
placement to a recommended
configuration.
•After changing electrode
placement, always RELEARN
the ECG waveform.
If adjusting the electrode
placement does not resolve
the detection issue, change
the pace detection mode to
Pace 1 and RELEARN.

■Arrhythmia: Arrhythmia
processing can be manually
changed to one of the following
conditions:
•Full: Expands detection to all
arrhythmia conditions
defined by the software level.
•Lethal: Arrhythmia
processing is limited to
Asystole, VFib/VTac and
VTach.
•Off: Disables all arrhythmia
alarms. Parameter alarms
remain active.
•To Change the Arrhythmia
Processing Mode:
–Select ECG.

move the cursor in front of
the desired arrhythmia
processing mode and press
