If the number of consecutive PVCs is lower than the V-Tach PVCs limit (6) but greater than 2, and PVC rate is
greater or equal to the V-Tach Rate limit (130), a Nonsus V-Tach alarm is generated.
If the number of consecutive PVCs is greater than or equal to the V Brady PVCs limit (5), and PVC rate is
lower than the V Brady limit (40), a Vent Brady alarm is generated.
If both the V Brady PVCs and V Brady Rate are lower than the limits, but V Brady PVCs is greater than 2, a
Run PVCs alarm is generated.
If the V Brady PVCs and V Brady Rate are greater than or equal to limits, but the Vent rate is is lower than V-
Tach Rate (130), a Vent Rhythm alarm is generated.
8.6.5 Arrhythmia Alarms Timeout
Normally, an arrhythmia alarm is presented when an alarm condition is detected. However, there are certain
situations that can inhibit audible and visible alarm indications even though an alarm condition was detected.
For more information, see 8.6.5.1 Arrhythmia Alarm Chains and 8.6.5.2 Setting Arrhythmia Alarm Timeout Period.
8.6.5.1 Arrhythmia Alarm Chains
If multiple alarms overlap, announcing all of the detected alarm conditions would be confusing, and a more
serious condition might be overlooked. So arrhythmia alarms are prioritized by alarm "chains".
8.6.5.2 Setting Arrhythmia Alarm Timeout Period
The arrhythmia algorithm can disable alarm light and alarm tone for designated period of time when certain
arrhythmia alarms are detected.
To set the arrhythmia alarm timeout period, follow this procedure:
1. Select the Main Menu quick key from the System column select Maintenance input the required
password select .
2. Select the Alarm tab select the Other tab.
