16 Description of automatic rhythm detection 16.1 Heart rate detection The heart rate in beats per minute [bpm] is continuously calcu- lated from the interval of two consecutive R waves. Heart rate de- tection is an essential feature of the recorder. Heart rates in the range between 30 bpm and 240 bpm are detected with a toler- ance of max.
The automatic recording of events is suppressed if Open leads are detected by the recorder; Signal noise is detected or The calculated heart rate is not valid. 16.3 Detection of atrial fibrillation (AFib) The onset of AFib is detected once three arrhythmic changes of two consecutive RR' intervals have been determined within the last 16 QRS complexes.
