ECG
ECG module Analog output signal
E-modules ECG 1 Lead (top waveform position).
If ECG 1 Lead is any of the derived leads related to the 12RL 12 lead, then the
analog output will use lead II.
PDM
ECG 1 Lead (top waveform position).
TRAM
ECG 1 Lead (top trace position).
Tram-Rac
Lead II is the first ECG lead for analog output.
ECG 1 Lead is the second ECG lead for analog output.
Va is the third ECG lead for analog output.
About the combination monitoring mode
The combination monitoring is a licensed feature. In combination monitoring mode
ECG is acquired from a telemetry receiver system. This ECG data acquisition capability
enhances basic telemetry monitoring by providing access to all of the available
parameters from bedside monitors, while acquiring the ECG data from telemetry. In
this monitoring mode, all data — local and telemetry — is viewed at the central station
and the bedside monitor. However, any historical data stored at the central station will
be unavailable. Any new alarm history samples created on the telemetry transmitter
cannot be viewed on the monitor if they are created after the combination monitoring
has been started. Only the snapshots created on the monitor and the samples of
the telemetry transmitter created prior to starting the combination monitoring can
be viewed.
The combination monitoring mode can be enabled through Monitor Setup > Default
Setup > Care Unit Settings > Telemetry > Monitor or Telemetry , and the setting is
password protected. The monitor needs to be configured to the CARESCAPE Network.
This option cannot be used in the NICU software package.
In case the telemetry patient has been admitted when the device is connected to the
monitor, the arrhythmia alarm priorities and limit alarm priorities (except in case the
monitor alarm is set to escalating) and the following ECG settings of the telemetry
will be used:
●
HR, ST, and PVC alarm limits
●
PVC alarm status (on/off)
●
Pacemaker detection
●
Lead analysis
●
Va lead position
●
Primary lead
●
ECG waveform size
●
Arrhythmia detection level
●
ST analysis status (on/off)
When combination monitoring is started with a non-admitted telemetry patient, these
same settings from the monitor will be sent to telemetry. Additionally, the
Telemetry
Waveforms printing location is sent to telemetry.
If the telemetry alarm priority is such that it is not supported by the monitor, it will be
mapped to the next higher priority available.
