BEAT VOLUME
Available options for are between "1" to "7" and "OFF"; "OFF" indicates silence, while 7
indicates maximum volume.
■
PACE DETECT
"ON" for patient with pacemaker," OFF" for patient without pacemaker. When PACE DETECT
is "ON", the ECG monitoring system detects and rejects pacemaker-generated signals from ECG
signal so that they will be ignored in calculating the heart rate. Detected pacemaker signals will
be marked on the ECG waveform as 1 centimeter spike. if the patient does not have a pacemaker,
it may be desirable to turn the detection function OFF so that artifacts in the waveform will not
be mistaken for a pacemaker signal.
NOTE:
Monitoring of patients with pacemaker is not generally affected when PACE
DETECT is enabled.
NOTE:
ECG signals with the slope of up to 1 V/s will not be counted as Pace signal.
