Selecting the ECG chart displays the ECG Event screen. An ECG cable does not
have to be connected to the Controller to enter the ECG Event screen or to record
events.
•
XClamp Time: The time elapsed between selecting XC-ON button and
selecting XC-OFF button.
•
Time to Arrest: The value of On Time when the Arrested button is selected.
•
Arrest Time: The time elapsed from when selecting Arrested button to
selecting Rhythm button.
•
Ischemic Time: The Arrest Time minus the Delivery Time.
•
Time to Rhythm: The time elapsed between selecting XC-OFF button or
confirming Hotshot and selecting Rhythm button.
The XClamp Time can be started by selecting the XC-ON button. Select the
Arrested button to freeze and record the Time to Arrest value. The Arrest Time
counter then starts counting and the Ischemic counter starts to display the
accumulated ‘Off Time.’ When the Rhythm button is selected the operator can select
confirm to then record whether the heart was defibrillated, paced, temporarily paced
or spontaneously restarted. To enable the Rhythm button, the operator must first
select XC-OFF or confirm the Hotshot Detection when Delivery Temperature
reaches 35°C. After the Rhythm button has been confirmed, the Time to Arrest timer
resets and the operator has the option to record all of the ECG Event timers for four
additional arrest events. After the Rhythm button has been confirmed for a fifth time,
all of the buttons on the ECG Event screen become disabled.
