4.2 Electrode arrangement for patients with pacemakers (TELESMART-H)
Using the TELESMART recorder (TELESMART-H, only) with PADSY-Holter software al-
lows the recognition and analysis of pacemaker pulses to be performed. Pulses of
uni and bi polar, one and two chamber pacemakers will all be recorded and recog-
nized.
Pacemaker pulse recognition occurs on channel B for all recorders. The high sample
frequency of the recorder means that the pacemaker pulses will be marked on the
real-time ECG recording at virtually the exact time point where they occurred. The
events are marked on the ECG with a red marker element. Please refer to the PADSY-
Holter software user’s manual for more detail.
Please note, that patient cable “M” is not intended for use with pacemaker pa-
tients.
4.2.1 Patients with unipolar pacemakers
For unipolar pacemakers, the electrode array must be positioned according to the
pacemaker location. To accomplish this, the electrodes of channel B that lie closest
to the implanted pacemaker in the standard electrode configuration should be posi-
tioned directly over the pacemaker.
The following figures give examples for electrode arrays in channel B that are set up
for unipolar pacemakers.
Channel A:
red (1)/green (4) electrodes
Channel B (pm):
yellow(2)/white (3) electrodes
Ground (reference): black electrode (5)
