1Note: No capture beat needed for trigger. 2 Depends on type and number of premature beats. 3 For significant irregularity use Peak. 4 If Real Time Timing is desired 5
May be preferred for HR > 140 bpm
NOTE: Patients must be 100% paced to use the V PACE and A PACE trigger modes. Unless
the patient is 100% paced, you will need to use the PATTERN or PEAK or Afib mode.
For each trigger mode that is potentially appropriate for your patient, look for a
consistent white overlay on the ECG and AP trace and a flashing heart icon on
the LCD. The white overlay on the ECG should correspond with the assist ratio.
The trigger mode control key LED will also flash if the AutoCAT
detecting an adequate triggering signal.
Note the trigger modes that provide consistent triggering signals.
Select the best (most reliable) trigger mode. If PATTERN is reliable, this is
usually the best trigger mode to begin pumping.
