Lead analysis
The Lead Analysis control signals the transmitter to process the ECG in Single-Lead
or Multi-Lead mode. Use the mouse to click on your selection. Multi-Lead analysis is
the default setting for Adult.
NOTE
ECG is relearned whenever Lead Analysis is changed.
Multi-Lead analysis
Multi-Lead analysis simultaneously examines ECG leads I, II, III, and V (whether
they are displayed or not) to help eliminate false alarms and improve the ability of the
system to:
 Detect beats which occur isoelectric to a single chest lead.
 Discriminate artifact that appears in one lead compared to the other lead vectors.
 Provide a smart-lead fail feature, where the failed lead is identified, and if
available, another lead is provided for display.
 Continue arrhythmia processing even after a lead change.
Single-Lead analysis
Single-Lead analysis uses only the lead displayed on the CIC Pro center screen to
process ECG and arrhythmia information. To change the lead used for Single-Lead
analysis, you must change the displayed lead.
Single-Lead ECG may be acquired using a 3-, 5-, or 6-leadwire set. However, only a
Single-Lead ECG is transmitted or processed.
Single-Lead analysis is beneficial when troubleshooting pacemaker detection and/or
arrhythmia detection. Single-Lead analysis must always be used when monitoring
with a 3-leadwire set. Single-Lead analysis can be set up as a unit default. Refer to
Customizing the system on page 4-4 for more information.
