Emergency ECG
Settings
Use these settings to configure the emergency ECG. While you can change these settings
at any time, they are usually configured just once after the installation.
Recording type
The system is configured for both the STAT ECG (Resting Emergency ECG) and the
STAT Rhythm ECG test procedure. The Rhythm test procedure allows you to record the
ECG for a long time. During the recording or later you can select multiple ECG strips for
analysis or interpretation.
Start option
You can configure the system to always start with an emergency test procedure.
Age and gender
The automatic analysis program requires the age and gender of the patient in order to
calculate measurement values and perform the interpretation. Because this data may not
be available for the emergency ECG, the recording includes no analysis unless you
configure a default age and gender.
