u
ALM LEV: selectable from "HI" and "MED". Level HIGH represents the most serious alarm.
u
ALM HI: to set the upper limit of HR alarm.
u
ALM LO: to set the lower limit of HR alarm.
u
ST ALM SETUP: refer to the section
ST Segment Monitoring
in the following for details.
u
ARR ALM SETUP: refer to the section
ARR Monitoring
in the following for details.
NOTE:
l
ECG alarm is activated when the heart rate exceeds ALM HI value or falls below ALM LO value.
l
Please set the alarm limits according to clinical condition of individual patient.
l
The setup of HR alarm limits is very important in monitoring process. The upper limit should not too high.
Considering the factors of variability, the upper limit of HR alarm should 20 beats/min higher than the
patient's heart rate at most.
n
DEF POINT: refer to the section
ST Segment Monitoring
in the following for details.
n
ARR RECALL: refer to the section
ARR Monitoring

OTHER SET: Pick this item to access ECG SETUP menu.
n
BEAT VOL: 8 selections are available: OFF, 1~7. 7 indicates maximum volume. OFF indicates no
sound.
n
PACE: "ON" means the detected signal will be marked by a "
¹
" above the ECG waveform. "OFF"
means no pacemaker analysis.
WARNING
l
For a patient using pacemaker, the heart rate meter may count the pacemaker pulse when patient appears
cardiac arrest or arrhythmia. Therefore, do not entirely rely on the alarms of heart rate meter. Patient with
pacemaker should be closely monitored.
l
If monitoring a patient with pacemaker, set "PACE" to On. If monitoring a patient without pacemaker, set
"PACE" to Off. If "PACE" is on, the system will not perform some types of ARR analysis. For detailed
information, please refer to the section about arrhythmia analysis.
l
When the "PACCE" is on, the arrhythmia events related to ventricular premature beat (including PVCs
count) will not be detected, neither the ST segment analysis.

NOTCH: ON/OFF.

EMG: ON/OFF.
