How to baseline a patient

As with the WCD 3000, the 3100 monitor's arrhythmia detection algorithm uses
the patient's baseline ECG as a template to help determine if a treatable
arrhythmia exists.
When you set up a new patient, the monitor automatically goes into the baseline
mode when you exit the setup mode or the next time the system powers up.
Follow this procedure to baseline the patient.

1 Prepare the patient, attach the garment and electrode belt, and
connect the electrode cable to the monitor.
Have the patient sitting or lying down, relaxed, and not talking or
moving around.
Put a fully-charged battery into the monitor.
2 When you see the READY TO RECORD message, press the
response buttons.
This message displays while the monitor records the baseline. The
monitor also shows the patient's ECG.
Baseline recording time will vary depending on the patient, strength of
the ECG signal, and the amount of noise on the ECG signal.
Recording the baseline may take up to 5 minutes.
