Glossary-2

battery saver: Term for the cardiograph turning itself to Standby (off) auto-

matically after a preset time period to conserve power. The battery saver is

factory set for 30 minutes of cardiograph inactivity.

Cabrera: an alternative limb lead order in which aVR is inverted and shown

as -aVR. Lead order is aVL, I, -aVR, II, aVF, III, V1 through V6.

calibration pulse: A 200 ms, 1 mV square or stepped wave pulse which

appears on the printed record. The calibration pulse shows the sensitivity at

which the ECG was recorded.

chest leads: leads V1 through V6 (AHA), or C1 through C6 (IEC)

configuration: The manner in which the cardiograph is programmed to func-

tion.

cycle power: To press the button to put the cardiograph in Standby

mode (off), then press the button again to turn the cardiograph back

on.

direct transmission: moving data between a cardiograph and TraceMaster,

or between two cardiographs using a data cable connected to both devices.

directSCP: direct transmission using the Standard Communication Protocol,

as described in the European Committee for Standardization, Standard Com-

munication Protocol - Computer Assisted Electrocardiography, (CEN/TC

251).

DT: the protocol used to transmit information between PageWriter cardio-

graphs and TraceMaster ECG Management Systems.

ECG analysis: Computerized process for measuring and interpreting an

Auto ECG.

ECG report: Paper copy produced by the cardiograph when the operator

presses the or start key. This report includes a graphic represen-

tation of the heart’s electrical activity (ECG waveforms) and identifying

information. It may also include interpretive information produced by the

analysis software in the PageWriter 300pi cardiograph. ECG reports must be

overread by qualified physicians.

extended measurements report: this two page report summarizes the mor-

phology and rhythm characteristics for the individual lead waveforms and

rhythm groups in the ECG.
