Alarm Label Rhythm Description
MUSCLE Muscle Muscle Artifact
ASYSTOLE Asystole No QRS Detected for 3.0 Sec
CHKSIGNAL Check Signal Intermittent no signal detected
NO SIGNAL No Signal No QRS Detected for 9.0 Sec
V-FIB Ventricular Fibrillation Rapid disorganized Ventricular Impulses, no QRS’s
V-TACH Ventricula r Tachycardia Configurable.
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 Value.
V-RUN Ventricular 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 Ventricular 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.
