ST/AR Arrhythmia & ST Segment Monitoring
Warning Warning
During complete heart block or pacemaker failure (to pace or capture), tall
P-waves (greater than 1/5 of the average R-wave height) can be erroneously
counted by the arrhythmia algorithm, resulting in missed detection of
cardiac arrest.
Warning Warning
Learning
If you initiate learning during ventricular rhythm, the ectopics can be
incorrectly learned as the normal QRS complex. This can result in missed
detection of subsequent events of V-Tach and V-Fib.
