Detect Pace
NOTE
Refer to Chapter 11, ECG Monitoring, for important information
regarding Detect Pace and the pacemaker detection programs.
The options found in the popup list for the Detect Pace field are:
Pace 1
Pace 2

NOTE
The Off option turns pacemaker detection off. It does NOT perform
pacemaker detection. Either the Pace 2 or Pace 1 option MUST be
used with patients who have pacemakers.

(PDS).
