Problem:

Why would the monitor 

alarm

 for a low heart rate or

high heart rate, but not store in Alarm History?

Answer:

Parameter alarms (i.e., limit violations) do not store in
Alarm History.  The Tachy and Brady arrhythmia alarm
categories must be set in advisory or above to store in the

Alarm History.

Intervention:

■

Review Arrhythmia Alarm Levels in the Alarm
Control menu.

■

Adjust the Tachy and Brady alarms to Crisis,
Warning or Advisory level.

Problem:

Why is the monitor not calling 

PAUSE

 when the patient

is experiencing frequent pauses?

Answer:

The current criteria for the 

PAUSE

 may not be

exceeded.  The 

PAUSE

 alarm in the Dash monitor allows

the clinician to define the pause alarm intervals for

individual patients.

Intervention:

■

Review the 

Arrhythmia Alarm Levels

 in the Alarm

Control menu to ensure it is listed in Crisis, Warning
or Advisory.

■

Review the 

BEAT PAUSE INTERVAL

 in the ECG

menu to determine the current crisis.

■

Adjust the 

BEAT PAUSE INTERVAL

.  Selections

available are from 

one second

 to 

Five seconds
