ECG Monitoring: ECG Monitoring
ECG Artifact
The clinical information center has two levels for artifact alarms.
Level 1 artifact displays the ARTIFACT message, but continues to
display a heart rate.
The ARTIFACT message does not flash or generate an audible
alarm.
The ARTIFACT message will be relocated to the lead fail area of
the display.
If the patient is in a lead fail, the lead fail message has priority
over the ARTIFACT message on the display.
Level 2 artifact displays the ARTIFACT message, but the heart rate
values are removed from the display.
The ARR SUSPEND message is a System Status Alarm and can
be set at Warning, Advisory, or Message level.
The clinical information center displays the ARR SUSPEND
message when it is determined that the arrhythmia is in the
level 2 ARTIFACT state.
The ARR SUSPEND message is displayed in the Arrhythmia
event line and, if set at Warning or Advisory level, is sent to the
ADU line for alarm notification.
For more information about alarms, refer to Chapter 8, Alarm Control, in
this manual.
