Admit and you attempt to admit a patient without a pager number, then a
popup will be displayed stating that a pager number must be entered prior
to admitting the patient.
Implants
Press the Implant button on the Patient Settings screen to cycle through the choices
for patient implant. Choose the type below that applies to the patient:
Setting the Implant field to a value other than None is for display only and has no
effect on pacer processing or arrhythmia analysis.
If the Central Station is currently processing arrhythmia, implant labels (except None)
are displayed in the patient block.
Pacer Processing or ST Analysis
You can select ST analysis or pacer processing, or neither, for a patient, but not both.
ST analysis and pacer processing are mutually exclusive functions.
WARNING: Always set Process to Pacer for patients who have working electronic pace-
makers. Do not set Process to Pacer for patients who do not have an elec-
tronic pacemaker.
Note: The Pacer button is not available if a 3-Wire device type is selected. Pacer
Processing is not available for 3-Wire ambulatory patients.
Press the Process button on the Patient Settings screen to scroll through Pacer, ST or
None.
CAUTION: If you select Pacer, no ST alarms are triggered.
