TROUBLESHOOTING
Arrhythmia Calls
No matter how sophisticated an arrhythmia monitoring program may be, no real-time
monitoring equipment recognizes the presence or absence of P-waves. Therefore, it is
very important to remember that alarms will not sound for certain arrhythmias unless
the heart rate exceeds the upper and lower limits for heart rate.
monitoring equipment recognizes the presence or absence of P-waves. Therefore, it is
very important to remember that alarms will not sound for certain arrhythmias unless
the heart rate exceeds the upper and lower limits for heart rate.
Note:
Close observation of the patient’s rhythm by a trained clinician is vital.
Rhythms, such as Sinus Arrhythmia, will not be called. Sinus Bradycardia and Sinus
Tachycardia will cause the system to alarm only if the rate exceeds the lower or upper
alarm limits.
Tachycardia will cause the system to alarm only if the rate exceeds the lower or upper
alarm limits.
First Degree AV block will not be detected; Second Degree AV Blocks will be
alarmed if the rate violates the lower alarm limit. Complete Heart Block will signal an
alarm event if it violates the lower alarm limit.
alarmed if the rate violates the lower alarm limit. Complete Heart Block will signal an
alarm event if it violates the lower alarm limit.
The system will not call PACs, except only as aberrant beats. Paroxysmal Atrial
Tachycardia (PAT) will trigger an alarm if the heart rate exceeds the upper alarm limit
as “SV-TACH” if greater than 8 Supraventricular ectopic beats at 150 BPM. Atrial
Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter will not alarm as a specific alarm, but alarm notification
will occur if the rate violates the upper or lower alarm limits.
Tachycardia (PAT) will trigger an alarm if the heart rate exceeds the upper alarm limit
as “SV-TACH” if greater than 8 Supraventricular ectopic beats at 150 BPM. Atrial
Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter will not alarm as a specific alarm, but alarm notification

AV Nodal/Junctional Rhythm/Tachycardia will be called if the rate exceeds the upper
or lower alarm limits.
or lower alarm limits.
The ventricular calls High PVC, Couplet, Trigeminy, Bigeminy, V-Rhythm, V-Run,
and V-TACH will trigger alarm notification. V-Tach, V-Rhythm, and V-Run are called
based on how the V-TACH alarm is configured. See “Configuring the V-TACH Alarm Limits” on page 115 for details.

If you find that you are missing higher level ventricular alarms, then set the lower
level alarms on Couplet, and adjust the high heart rate alarm notification lower in
order to catch these events.
