Chapter 18 Monitoring PR
18.1 Overview
The pulse numeric counts the arterial pulsations that result from the mechanical activity of the
heart in beats per minute (bpm). You can display a pulse from any measured SpO
2
signal.
18.2 Selecting the Active Alarm Source
In most cases, the HR and Pulse numerics are identical. In order to avoid simultaneous alarms on
HR and Pulse, the telemetry transmitter uses either ECG or Pulse as its active alarm source.
Selecting active alarm source is operated on MFM-CMS.
Enter the Parameter Setup Window (way to entering refers to 8.2 Setting Parameters) > Click PR
on the left physiological parameter list > Click Alarm Source (HR, PR and AUTO are
optional) > Click Update Monitor to confirm.
 HR: if you want HR to be the alarm source for HR/Pulse.
 PR: if you select Pulse as the alarm source, ECG HR alarms are switched off.
 AUTO: If the Alarm Source is set to Auto, the telemetry transmitter will use the heart rate
from the ECG measurement as the alarm source whenever the ECG measurement is switched
on and at least one ECG lead can be measured without a technical condition. The telemetry
transmitter will automatically switch to Pulse as the alarm source if:
–a valid ECG lead can no longer be measured and
–a pulse source is switched on and available.
The telemetry transmitter then uses the pulse rate from the measurement currently active as
system pulse. While PR is the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG HR alarms are switched
off. If an ECG lead becomes available again, the telemetry transmitter automatically uses HR
as alarm source.
NOTE:
Pulse alarms are only generated when the active alarm source is set to PR, a pulse
source is set as system pulse and pulse alarms are switched on.
18.3 PR Alarm Settings
PR alarm settings are operated on MFM-CMS. Use can open or close the ECG alarm.
Please refer to 8.2.1 Parameters Alarm Setting for more alarm settings.
