ECG Monitoring
4.1 Description
ECG is a continuous waveform of a patient's cardiac electrical activity. An ECG waveform
will display in the first waveform area of the
Passport V .
The quality of an ECG signal is directly affected by electrode site skin preparation, electrode
patch quality and ECG lead placement. If artifact is present on the ECG waveform, then the
arrhythmia processing, alarm processing, and quality of the monitoring function may be
affected. The presence of artifact can prevent the monitor from establishing an accurate ECG
reference waveform, increasing the difficulty experienced in assessing the ECG rhythm.
Optimizing the ECG signal is imperative for accurate monitoring. Use high quality
electrodes, designed to acquire the ECG with excellent base line stability, recovery from
defibrillation and minimum artifact from patient movement.
With the Passport V , ECG can be obtained by using a 3- or 5-lead ECG cable in
conjunction with a 3- or 5-lead set and skin electrodes. For best performance and safety,
inspect the ECG cables and electrodes daily.
Features:
• Provides the function of ECG1 cascade display on the normally monitored screen.
• The Passport V supports the Mortara algorithm (V3.2.8).
• Supports 3- and 5-lead configuration and automatic identification of lead configuration.
• The ECG algorithm includes up to three parts: HR calculation, ST analysis (if installed)
and ARR analysis (if installed).
• Displays HR, PVCs and ST segment parameters and ECG waveforms (if installed).
• The ECG waveforms can be displayed normally or in All ECG View (via View key)
when a 5-lead leadset is in use.
• When using a 5-lead cable, 3-lead configuration will be selected automatically if the RL
lead becomes detached from the patient.
