V-TACH, V-RUN, and V-RHYTHM Configurations
V-TACH
The V-TACH arrhythmia alarm can now be configured. The number of consecutive
PVCs can be set equal to, and between, 3 and 8. The Heart Rate can be set equal to,
and between, 100 and 120 BPM. A V-TACH alarm is triggered when the consecutive
PVC count is reached AND the heart rate is greater than or equal to the set Heart Rate
Val ue.
V-RUN
V-RUN is triggered when the number of consecutive PVCs is greater than 2 and less
than the V-TACH configured PVC value (i.e. when the V-TACH is configured at 3
PVCs, the V-RUN alarm is never triggered).
V-RHYTHM
V-RHYTHM is triggered when the number of consecutive PVCs is greater than or
equal to the V-TACH configured PVC value, but the Heart Rate is less than the V-
TACH configured heart rate value.
