INFINITY CENTRAL STATION & M300 QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
FALSE ALARMS DUE MOVEMENT AND/OR ARTIFACT
If the monitor is signaling "false alarms" for movement or artifact:
1. Ensure that the recommendations for lead preparation are fol-
lowed.
2. Ensure that the lead wires are secured.
3. For M300 patients, ensure that the transmitter is stabilized (in
pouch or hospital approved location)
4. Isolate the patient from auxiliary equipment, if possible.
5. Initiate a manual ECG Relearn.
DIFFICULTY MONITORING PACED RHYTHM
If the monitor is not identifying paced rhythms:
1. Ensure Pacer Detection is turned ON for patients with a pacer.
2. Reposition the electrodes for pacer patient.
3. If the pacer spike is too small and the monitor is unable to de-
tect it:
Try monitoring a single lead such as V1 or V5.
o
Try monitoring a lead that displays a larger pacer spike.
o
Increase the detection sensitivity (gain).
o
4. If the pacer spike is too large and the monitor is signaling asys-
tole:
Monitor a lead that displays a pacer spike smaller than
o
the QRS at 0.50 such as V1 (or MCL1 with the three lead
electrode set).
5. ALWAYS keep pacemaker patients under close surveillance.
