Switching Pulse On and Off, Using Pulse Alarms

7 Monitoring Pulse Rate

Switching Pulse On and Off

To switch a particular pulse numeric on or off, enter the Setup Pulse menu via the measurement setup menu or wave menu of the pulse source. For example, to switch an SpO2 pulse numeric on or off,

1Enter the Setup Pulse menu by selecting the Pulse numeric or by selecting Pulse in the

Setup SpO2 menu.

2In the Setup Pulse menu, select Pulse (Pulse source) to toggle between On and

Off.

To switch the system pulse on or off, in any Setup Pulse (Pulse Source) menu, check which measurement is currently selected as pulse source. Enter the Setup Pulse menu for this pulse source and then switch off the pulse measurement as described.

Using Pulse Alarms

You can change pulse rate alarm limits in the Setup Pulse menu accessed via any Pulse source, or in the Setup ECG menu. Changing the alarm limits for a specific Pulse numeric changes the alarm limits for all pulse rate alarms and heart rate alarms.

Pulse alarms are only generated when the active alarm source is set to Pulse and a pulse source is set as system pulse.

Selecting the Active Alarm Source: HR or Pulse?

In most cases the HR and Pulse numerics are identical. In order to avoid simultaneous alarms on HR and Pulse, the monitor uses either HR or Pulse as its active alarm source. To change the alarm source, select Alarm Source in the Setup ECG or Setup Pulse menu, then select either

•HR: if you want the HR to be the alarm source for HR/Pulse.

•Pulse: If you select Pulse as the active alarm source, the monitor will prompt you to confirm your choice. Be aware that if you select Pulse as the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG HR alarms are switched off.

•Auto: If the Alarm Source is set to Auto, the monitor will use the heart rate from the ECG measurement as the alarm source whenever the ECG measurement is switched on and no ECG LEADS OFF INOP is active.

The monitor will automatically switch to Pulse as the alarm source if:

–a Pulse source is switched on and available, and

–the heart rate becomes unavailable and the ECG LEADS OFF inop is active.

The monitor then uses the pulse rate from the measurement currently selected as system pulse. While Pulse is the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG HR alarms are switched off. If the HR becomes available again, the monitor automatically uses this as alarm source.
