System Setup
ECG Acquisition (cont'd.)
Field Description
Prompt Level Determines the level at which the Hookup Advisor prompts users
regarding patient hookup quality. This field is available only if
Hookup Advisor is enabled.
There are three possible settings:
• Never
The system will not prompt the user when the signal quality
is poor. However, the statement
***Poor data quality,
interpretation may be adversely affected will print on reports
for red lead quality situations.
• Yellow
The system will prompt the user for both red and yellow signal
quality situations. The user can then choose to continue or cancel
the ECG. The statement
***Poor data quality, interpretation
may be adversely affected will print on reports.
• Red
The default value, the system will prompt the user for red signal
quality situations. The user can then choose to continue or cancel
the ECG. The statement
***Poor data quality, interpretation
may be adversely affected will print on reports.
NOTE:
If Hookup Advisor and Preview before analysis are both on,
this setting is disregarded because any lead quality message
will be displayed when the user is prompted to continue in the
preview screen.
The generation of the statement *** Poor data quality,
interpretation may be adversely affected is based on the
Hookup Advisor quality level as previously described even if
Hookup Advisor is not turned on. If Hookup Advisor is not
turned on, the statement will be generated based on what the
Hookup Advisor level would have been had it been enabled
