Passport V Operating Instructions
4.7.1.3
Ventricular Tachycardia (V-TACH) Alarm
A
V-TACH
alarm is activated as follows:
• The range of the V-TACH rate is between 100 to 180 beats per minute.
AND
• The V-TACH lethal arrhythmia alarm is activated when the configured number of
consecutive PVCs is reached. The range for the V-TACH threshold is 3 – 15 beats per
minute.
A
V-TACH
alarm is a Priority 1 alarm event that produces:
• Alarm Priority 1 visual and audio alarm indicators.
• A
V-TACH
text message above the ECG1 waveform area.
4.7.2
Non-Lethal Arrhythmia Alarms
A Non-Lethal Arrhythmia is an arrhythmia that is most likely not life threatening to a patient.
Bigeminy, Bradycardia, Couplet, Irregular Heart Rate, PVC/min, Run, Trigeminy, and
Ventricular Rhythm (V-Rhythm) alarms are classified as non-lethal arrhythmia alarms. All other
Non-Lethal Arrhythmias default to Alarm Priority 2. The Alarm Priority for non-lethal
Arrhythmia is user-selectable between 1 and 2.
NOTE:
Non-lethal arrhythmia alarms are not latched alarms and
can be acknowledged at any time. To acknowledge a non-
lethal arrhythmia alarm, press the “Silence” key on the
keypad.

alarm is activated when three or more cycles of one PVC coupled to one

BIGEMINY
text message above the ECG1 waveform area.
4.7.2.2

The
Brady
alarm is activated when the heart rate falls to a value 10% lower than the user
selected value for low heart rate alarm.
The
Brady
alarm is an alarm event that produces:
