Trigeminy Alarm
The Trigeminy alarm is activated at the Panorama Central Station when three or more
cycles of one PVC coupled to two normal beats are detected. This rhythm could also cause
an Irregular HR alarm.
The Trigeminy alarm has priority settings of 2, 3 and OFF. When the setting is:
•Set to 2, the Panorama Central Station produces an Alarm Priority 2 sound once the
condition is identified.
•Set to 3, the Panorama Central Station produces an Alarm Priority 3 sound once the
condition is identified.
•Set to OFF, the Panorama Central Station does not produce any audio alarm indicators
for the Trigeminy alarm condition.
The Trigeminy alarm causes a yellow Trigeminy text message to display in the Patient
Status line.

The V-Rhythm alarm is activated at the Panorama Central Station when the number of
consecutive PVCs is greater than three and the ventricular rate is less than the configured
V-Tach threshold.
The V-Rhythm alarm has priority settings of 2, 3, and OFF. When the setting is:
•Set to 2, the Panorama Central Station produces an Alarm Priority 2 sound once the
condition is identified.
•Set to 3, the Panorama Central Station produces an Alarm Priority 3 sound once the
condition is identified.
•Set to OFF, the Panorama Central Station does not produce any audio alarm indicators
