ECG
An ECG waveform trace appears at the top of the display area. You can specify that the unit
display the waveform trace of any available ECG source, such as Pads, ECG Leads
l
,
ll
, or
lll
,
and so on, in this area. You can configure the X Series unit to display up to four ECG waveform
traces. In addition to being able to specify the ECG source for each waveform trace, you can
adjust the display scale of those traces to make them easier to view.
Heart Rate
A Heart Rate meter gives the patient’s heart rate in Beats Per Minute (
bpm
). By default, the X
Series unit derives the heart rate from the patient’s ECG, but can be configured to use other
monitoring functions to derive the patient’s heart rate.
Respiration Rate
A Respiration Rate meter gives the patient’s respiration rate in Breaths Per Minute (
br/min
).
The X Series unit can be configured to derive the respiration rate from the patient’s ECG or
from the optional CO
2
monitoring function.
Temperature
The Temperature (
Temp
) meter can display temperature measurements from up to two
temperature probes. The X Series unit provides two separate temperature monitoring channels
and, if both are used, displays the monitored temperatures, in degrees F or C, one after the
other, followed by the difference between those temperatures.
Invasive Pressures (IBP)
The X Series unit provides three separate channels for monitoring arterial, venous, or
intracranial pressure using internal probes. The pressure measurements for each pressure
channel appear in a labeled (
P1 , P2 , P3
) numeric display.
Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)
The X Series unit provides patented Smartcuf motion-tolerant technology for NIBP monitoring.
NIBP monitoring measures the patient’s systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure through an
inflatable blood pressure cuff that the X Series unit inflates/deflates. NIBP measurements can
be taken automatically or on-demand by pressing the NIBP button ( ) on the front panel of the
X Series unit. The blood pressure measurements appear in a labeled (
NIBP
) numeric display.
You can also specify that the X Series unit display non-invasive pressure waveforms in the
waveform trace area.
