arrhythmia monitoring is deactivated, the ASY/VF

Selecting arrhythmia leads

Appropriate lead selection is essential for accurate
arrhythmia monitoring. It is ideal to assign the two
best ECG leads as the arrhythmia monitoring
leads. The following two options are available:
(
– ECG1 single channel selection) – dedicates
processing to the lead selected as arrhythmia
lead 1.
(
– ECG1&2 dual channel selection) – determines
the heart rate and arrhythmia based on the
leads selected as arrhythmia lead1 and arrhyth-
mia lead 2.
NOTE
When the M540 is docked in an IACS configura-
tion, the top two ECG waveform channels on the
Cockpit are arrhythmia lead 1 and arrhythmia lead
2.
When the M540 is in standalone mode or on wire-
less transport, the selected arrhythmia leads and
waveform channel may be different. Make sure
that the waveform channel and arrhythmia chan-
nels are configured appropriately.
