How the M2662A Measures ECGs
3-2 Revision 0.1
4. Interpretation (PageWriter 10i only) - uses the extended measurements, with
information about the patient such as age and sex, to select those interpretive
statements from the criteria program which summarize the findings for the ECG.
Agilent provides two standard criteria programs, adult and pediatric, in the
PageWriter 10i cardiograph. Patient information, including age and sex (if
available) are used by the criteria programs in selecting some of the interpretive
statements.
3How the M2662A Measures ECGs
The M2662A calculates measurements for all the waveforms that you see on the
Auto 3 x 4 report. Every beat in every lead is measured individually, allowing the
natural variations among beats to contribute to the representative measurements.
This is in contrast to other measurement methods in which a representative beat is
constructed and then measurements are made only for the constructed beat. In the
M2662A, representative group, lead and global measurements are calculated from
combinations of the comprehensive set of measurements for each beat.
