are greatly reduced. The alternate pulse rate source value replaces the standard heart
rate value in the HR parameter window.

Auto algorithm

The AUTO algorithm selects the first available heart rate source based on a
pre-defined parameter priority:
1. ECG
2. Primary arterial site
3. SpO

ECG troubleshooting

Problem
ECG signal is noisy or no QRS is detected
Why are the QRS complexes marked with an X?
Numeric values are replaced by dashes.
About the 12RL

™ feature
12RL is not available with the NICU software package.
Although reconstructed (interpolated) leads can be viewed
on the CARESCAPE ONE in standalone mode, the CARESCAPE
ONE must be connected to a host monitor as an acquisition
device to obtain a 12RL report.
CARESCAPE ONE
Solution
Ensure that the patient is not shivering.
●
Check the electrode quality and positioning. Do
●
not place electrodes on body hair, bones close to
skin, layers of fat and major muscles. Pre-gelled
electrodes are recommended.
Change the lead in ECG1 to the best available
●
signal and consider using the Single lead mode.
Consider using Size 2x or 4x.
●
Try an alternative location for the Va lead to
●
improve signal quality. In some cases, like if the
patient has a significant heart failure, changing for
example from V5 to V1 can result in a considerable
difference in the signal amplitude.
Select the appropriate filter to apply to the
●
displayed waveforms by selecting the HR
parameter window > Advanced > Page 1 >
Waveform Filter. This does not affect QRS
detection or arrhythmia analysis.
Check all cable connectors.
●
Defibrillator synchronization markers are identified
with an X on the QRS complexes.
Reconnect the CARESCAPE ECG.
●
Replace the CARESCAPE ECG.
●
If the problem persists, contact qualified service
●
personnel.
