Setting the Pacer Blanking Period
Setting a blanking period before and after the pacer spike removes residual pacer arti-
fact from the ECG signal. See “Pacemaker Processing” on page 95 for details.
Note: This feature availability is configurable. If the Pacer Filter button is not avail-
able, then see your system administrator for details.
Arrhythmia Processing
Arrhythmia processing can take place at the Central Station or at the bedside patient
monitor. See “Arrhythmia Analysis” on page 51 and “ST Analysis” on page 167 for
details.
The Central Station can perform arrhythmia processing on up to three ECG waves. It
analyzes data sent by the patient monitor and issues alarms on arrhythmia events.
Patient Transfers
You can transfer a patient’s settings and data from one channel on a Central Station to
another channel or to a different Central Station on the same network.
Note: Transferring the room number, nursing unit, transceiver ID, alarm actions
are configurable options in the administrator’s screens.
WARNING: If the Transceiver ID is not configured to transfer with the patient data, then
transceivers will remain associated with their original channels. Therefore,
the patient must be physically moved to the transceiver that is associated
with the new channel to continue monitoring.
Local Transfer
A local transfer is a transfer of a patient’s settings and data from one channel to
another on the same Central Station.
1. Press Transfer on the Patient Settings screen and select the patient. The
Transfer popup appears directing you to select the channel (ignore the bottom
half of the popup; this applies to network transfers).
2. Choose an empty channel and click on its waveform area to transfer the
patient’s data and settings
