Displayed whenever no beat is detected for 5 seconds. This message is displayed
for 10 seconds or the duration of the alarm. An ASYSTOLE message means it
has been 5 seconds or more since a QRS complex has been detected. Check the
patient. If the patient is stable:
• Check that the lead wires are inserted into the proper receptacle.
• Using the continuity tester, check that there is no damage to the lead wires.
• If the amplitude is poor, check the appropriate lead with a 12-lead ECG.
• Check that the transmitter is more than 3 feet from any television receiver or
CRT display.
COUPLET ALARM
Displayed for 10 seconds whenever a couplet is detected and the ABN IN ROW
alarm limit is ON and is set to two.
ECG ALARMS OFF
Displayed in reverse video whenever ECG alarms are OFF.
ECG ALARMS SUSPENDED
Displayed in reverse video whenever alarms have been suspended by pressing
the [TONE RESET/ALM SUSPEND] key.
ECG PROCESSING SUSPENDED
Appears whenever ECG and arrhythmia processing have been suspended by
pressing the SUSPEND PROCESSING key and menu. This message is
displayed until processing is resumed.
ECG VOLTAGE TOO LOW
Displayed whenever the ECG signal is below the detection threshold. This
message only applies to the ADULT mode for QRS amplitudes in the range of
160 µV to 200 µV. After 10 seconds in this condition, an alarm tone sounds if ECG
alarms are enabled and alarm tones have not been turned OFF or suspended.
The ECG amplitude may have dropped below the R-wave detector threshold
level. Reposition the electrodes to obtain a QRS amplitude of at least 0.20 mV
(adult) or 0.15 mV (neonate).
HI RATE ALARM
Displayed during high rate alarms for either 10 seconds or the duration of the
alarm.
IN LEARN
Displayed when the software is in learn mode.
CHAN 1 & 2 LEADS OFF
Displayed when lead failures preclude ECG monitoring in both ECG channels 1
and 2. The message is displayed in the waveform zone for the first ECG channel.
An alarm tone sounds if the module has completed its initial period of learning and
ECG processing has not been suspended.
CHAN 1 LEADS OFF
Displayed when a lead failure occurs on ECG channel 1 when automatic lead
switching is disabled.
CHAN 2 LEADS OFF
Displayed when a lead failure occurs on ECG channel 2. The message is
displayed in the waveform zone for both ECG channels 1 and 2.
