and validated to detect the following arrhythmias only:
Overview
Arrhythmia Analysis
Arrhythmias are detected for both ambulatory and bedside monitored patients by
using up to two leads of ECG, depending on the number of leads available.
The leads are chosen for analysis in the following priority order: V, II, III, I, and all
other lead types (e.g., aVR, aVL, etc.).
Note: You can select (if available) the Primary and Secondary leads that will be
used for arrhythmia analysis. For best results, select lead II for the Primary
lead, and lead V or I for the Secondary lead.
QRS complexes as well as high and low heart rates are detected over the range as
specified in the Standard for Cardiac Monitors, Heart Rate Meters and Alarms ANSI/
AAMI EC-13 1992 (3.2.6).
Note: The DT-4500 Ambulatory Transceiver supports 3, 4, and 5-wire at this time.
Note: Please see “Reporting” on page 222 to report questions or problems related
