Item Description
14 The Calibration pulses .
When a rhythm recording is started, a calibration pulse is added at the beginning of
each lead in the patient report, which shows the speed and gain at which the rhythm is
recorded. Each calibration pulse represents 1 mV of amplitude and 200 ms duration of
the waveform. Each time the rhythm recording starts after a change in speed or gain, a
calibration pulse is printed for each lead.
NOTE :
The standard grid paper is divided into small squares of 1 mm x 1 mm and large
squares of 5 mm x 5 mm. When recording 25 mm/s, 1 second of data is shown in
25 mm (5 large squares) on the rhythm report. When recording 10 mm/mV, 1 mV of
data is shown in 10 mm/mV (2 large squares) on the printout.
Full Disclosure (FD) Report Format
Full Disclosure (FD) reports contain patient information, waveform data, and ECG
acquisition data in FD buffer at the time of generating report. A FD report is a
continuous recording of a patient's ECG in a digital, print, or transmit format for a
single lead.
This section describes the information contained in a FD report and explains where
in the report that the information is located. After generating a FD report, it is a
recommended best practice to review the report before allowing the patient to leave.
