xiv Infinity CentralStation VF8 Infinity CentralStation  Instructions for UseSafety ConsiderationsGeneral PrecautionsThe user must check that the equipment functions safely and is in proper working condition before use. In the interest of safety, regular equipment inspection and maintenance is required. Once a year, check all cables, devices, and accessories for damage, ground resistance, chassis and patient leakage currents, and all alarm functions. Also, ensure that all safety labels are legible. Maintain a record of safety inspections. Safety checks, device verification, calibration, and maintenance should be carried out and verified by properly trained personnel.  CAUTION! Dräger recommends the use of an Uninterruptible Power Manager in con-junction with the Infinity CentralStation at all times.  Without an Uniterruptible Power Manager power losses may cause the Infinity CentralStation to reboot and electrical anomalies may cause unwanted operation.WARNING! Because of the danger of electric shock, never re-move the cover of any device while it is in operation or con-nected to a power outlet.WARNING!zOperation of this device should be in accordance with part 15.242 sections A, D, E, F, G and H of the FCC rules.zTake all precautions against electric shock due to exposed electrical connections, spilled fluids, defibrillation, etc. or injury to patient and damage to equipment may occur.CAUTION! Conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors for applied parts, including the neutral electrode, should not contact other conductive parts including earth or damage to equipment may occur.NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna,Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver,Connect the equipment into an outlet on a different circuit from that to which the receiver is connected,Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party respon-sible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

xvi Infinity CentralStation VF8 Infinity CentralStation  Instructions for UseECG Report PrecautionsPacemaker and TENS PrecautionsCertain difficulties are inherent to ECG monitoring and require special attention. Use care to not misinterpret ECG waveforms of patients with pacemakers.  WARNING! If you require a diagnostic quality recording you must use a Rest ECG Report (18-7). WARNING! Pacemaker PerformancezIn areas of uncertain performance, the monitor has been designed to err in the direction of false positive rather than false negative alarms.zIn paced patients, QRS complexes may not be counted that result in false low rate alarms under the following circumstances:Fused beats and asynchronous pacers when cou-pling intervals are +10 to -90 msec.700 mV pacer pulses followed by QRS complexes <0.5mV.Asynchronous pacer pulses with overshoot.zEven though the Infinity CentralStation passed the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) pacer pulse rejection test, it cannot anticipate every waveform characteristic. The system may count heart rates inaccurately and misinterpret rate-dependent arrhythmias in some paced patients. Do not rely entirely on the displayed heart rate to assess a paced patient’s condition. Always closely observe and carefully monitor these patients’ vital signs. NOTE:zThe Infinity M300 device contains a magnet which generates an extremely low static magnetic field of approximately 2 gauss at 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) distance.  Please refer to the manufacturer’s Instructions for Use of any third party  medical devices in the patient vicinity for compatibility.zThe Infinity Telemetry transmitter device contains a magnet which generates an extremely low static magnetic field of approximately 11 gauss at 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) distance.  Please refer to the manufacturer’s Instructions for Use of any third party medical devices in the patient vicinity for compatibility.
Infinity CentralStation  Instructions for Use VF8 Infinity CentralStation xviiFor Patients Without a Pacemaker:zDisable pacer detection. (See page 5-3.) zBe aware that transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) signals are similar to pacemaker spikes and may be labeled as such.Pacer Fusion Mode PrecautionsWARNING! Valid QRS complexes following mislabeled TENS signals could be rejected, resulting in false asystole or low heart rate alarms. Follow the directions for pacemaker pa-tients. If TENS signals continue to be interpreted as pacer spikes, disable pacemaker detection.WARNING! Fusion mode pacer detection is not intended for use with large-voltage, unipolar pacemakers. It is intended for use only with biphasic pacemakers. Please observe the following:zBefore selecting Fusion mode be certain that the patient has a biphasic pacemaker (external or implanted) and that it is accurately programmed as appropriate for that patient.zDo not select Fusion mode if you are not certain what type of pacemaker is in use, or how it is programmed.zSelect Pacer Fusion mode only to suppress repeated false asystole and/or false low heart rate alarms.zSelection of Fusion mode may increase the risk of falsely counting pacer spikes as QRS complexes, and may cause cardiac arrest to be undetected. Therefore, special surveillance of any pacemaker patient monitored with this mode is strongly recommended.
xviii Infinity CentralStation VF8 Infinity CentralStation  Instructions for UsePulse Oximetry PrecautionsQRS Processing PrecautionsWARNING!zSpO2 measurements are particularly sensitive to pulsations in the artery and the arteriole. Therefore, measurements may not be accurate if a patient is experiencing shock, hypothermia, a nemia, or has received medications that reduce artery blood flow.zCheck the sensor at least every four hours. Move the sensor if there is any sign of skin irritation or impaired circulation.zBright sunlight can interfere with pulse oximetry measurements, causing erratic or missing values. When the sensor is likely to be exposed to direct sunlight, cover it with an opaque material.zElevated levels of carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin in monitored patients can result in inaccurate pulse oximetry readings.zInfrared remote control devices, such as those used with TVs and VCRs that are aimed directly at the SpO2 sensor can interfere with accurate pulse oximetry measurements. zSignificant levels of indocyanine green, methylene blue, or other intravascular dyes can interfere with accurate pulse oximetry measurements.CAUTION! Use only Dräger-approved power supplies and batteries (contact your local Dräger representative), otherwise the correct functioning of the product may be compro-mised.WARNING! High amplitude (>0.2mV) P- and T-waves of long duration may register as integral QRS complexes. So that the system accurately detects low heart rate in these cases, se-lect the lead with the highest R-wave (relative to the T- and/or P-wave) for ECG1. If the system continues to misinterpret P- or T-waves, reposition electrodes or use other modalities to monitor the patient.

If you select a channel size of 0.25 or 0.5 mV/cm, the Infinity CentralStation lowers the detection threshold, and the AAMI requirement is not met.WARNING! High amplitude (>0.15mV) P- and T-waves of long duration may register as integral QRS complexes. So that the system accurately detects low heart rate in these cases, select the lead with the highest R-wave (relative to the T- and/or P-wave) for ECG1. If the system continues to misinterpret P- or T-waves, reposition electrodes or use other modalities to monitor the patient.

Special surveillance is necessary for patients with pacemakers who are monitored with this mode enabled.zFusion mode pacer detection is not intended for use with large-voltage, unipolar pacemakers. It is intended for use only with biphasic pacemakers. Please observe the following:zBefore selecting Fusion mode be certain that the patient has a biphasic pacemaker (external or implanted) and that it is accurately programmed as appropriate for that patient.zDo not select Fusion mode if you are not certain what type of pacemaker is in use, or how it is programmed.zSelect Pacer Fusion mode only to suppress repeated false asystole and/or false low heart rate alarms.zSelection of Fusion mode may increase the risk of falsely counting pacer spikes as QRS complexes, and may cause cardiac arrest to be undetected. Therefore, special surveillance of any pacemaker patient monitored with this mode is strongly recommended.

Main Screen Setup VF8 Infinity CentralStation 7-7 Stopping WaveformsYou can stop all patient waveforms by clicking anywhere in the waveform area. Stopping a patient’s waveforms in Main Screen does not stop them in Bed View. Stopping waveforms has the following effect:zThe banner WAVE(S) PAUSED displays below the topmost waveform.zThe CONT and REC buttons appear ‘ghosted’ in the parameter area and you cannot request a manual recording. You can request a print screen, however.zParameter values and banners continue to be updated and the Bed Silence icon and alarm message display in case of alarm.To restart the waveforms, click inside the waveform area again. All previously displayed waveforms erase and are replaced by new waveforms.Waveform ColorThe Infinity CentralStation supports the display of all real time and stored waveforms and parameter values using the bedside currently selected colors or telemetry system default settings. For information about changing waveform color at a bedside monitor, see the monitor’s Instructions for Use.  For information about changing waveform color for a specific telemetry patient, see page 8-9. Telemetry Waveform Dropout Display (Infinity Telemetry only)You can choose to display a dropout on a telemetry waveform in a clearly identifiable negative Square-wave configuration to indicate a non-physiological event should RFdropouts occur when using Infinity Telemetry.  Square-wave display must be configured via a system Biomed setting during installation.Parameter AreasThe parameter areas to the right of each waveform may consist of several parameter fields. The parameter areas allow you to access each patient’s Bed View (Chapter 8). If the patient is in alarm, the background of the respective parameter area on the Infinity CentralStation flashes in the color associated with the highest grade alarm for that bed.
7-8 Infinity CentralStation VF87: Main ScreenA parameter area appears blank if no parameter data is available for a displayed patient due to one of the following conditions:zpatient monitor is in Standby or the patient was discharged,zmonitor was disconnected for patient transport, zmonitor/transmitter stopped communicating with network.NOTE: The parameter area does not flash or change color during Offline, Bedside Offline, or Duplicate Address conditions.  1 Generates a timed recording 4Secondary parameter labels 2 Displays alarms off  icon when alarms are turned off, or alarm limits when alarms are turned on5Primary parameter label 3 Secondary parameter values 6Generates a continuous recordingNOTE: Parameter units are only displayed if they appear at the bedside monitor. For telemetry patients, units always appear.
Main Screen Setup VF8 Infinity CentralStation 7-9 Primary Vs. Secondary ParametersThe Infinity CentralStation displays primary and secondary parameters. The primary parameter has an associated waveform displayed in the waveform area, but secondary parameters do not. The number of a patient’s displayed primary and secondary parameters depends on the selected Main Screen layout. Each parameter field may contain: zone single-valued primary parameter and up to two secondary parameters, orzone multi-valued parameter set (e.g. pressures)The Primary Parameter is distinguished by its size. The Primary Parameter value(s) and the label are the color of the associated waveform. If the Primary Parameter has no waveform displayed, the values and the label appear white.Up to two Secondary Parameters, not associated with waveforms, can be displayed per Primary Parameter. Secondary Parameters are white and appear smaller. Secondary Parameters consisting of triple-valued pressures are displayed in a single row, in the format SYS/DIA (MEAN).Allocation of Parameters - Bedside MonitorsThe bedside monitors determine how parameters are allocated to the parameter areas of the Infinity CentralStation. If more parameter slots are available than parameters to fill them, the fields that are not allocated are blank. If no parameters are available for a bed assigned to Main Screen because the monitor is in “Standby” mode, the patient has been discharged, or the monitor has been removed for transport, the entire waveform and parameter area for that bed appears blank. A message banner in the waveform area explains the reason for the absence of data.Delta/Delta XL/Kappa/GammaX XL parameters are assigned in descending order. The top waveform/parameter of the bedside monitor becomes the first Primary  Layout Primary   Secondary16 x 1 One up to two8 x 18 x 2 Two up to four4 x 24 x 4 Four up to eight2 x 4
7-10 Infinity CentralStation VF87: Main ScreenParameter/waveform at the Infinity CentralStation. Parameters continue to be assigned in consecutive order (Primary Parameters first, then Secondary Parameters) from the bedside to available parameter fields at the Infinity CentralStation. The Infinity CentralStation supports two icons specific to these monitors. zThe   symbol in the parameter box alerts users that the O2 lower alarm limit has been set to a value less than 21% at the MultiGas Module.zParameters that originate from devices that are not part of the Infinity Network, such as MIB devices, and duplicate parameters originating at the Delta/Delta XL/Kappa/GammaX XL are marked with an asterisk. The same is true when parameters are derived from two different sources within the Infinity Network (such as the monitor and a connected pod).If the next parameter box at the bedside monitor consists of a “set” of parameter values for ST or the MIB device, only the topmost parameter value will be used as a Secondary Parameter.Gamma/Gamma XL/Vista monitor parameters are assigned using the top waveform and corresponding parameter as the first primary waveform/parameter at the Infinity CentralStation. The second waveform and associated parameter fill the next Primary/Secondary fields. The remaining parameters are assigned top-to-bottom, left-to-right, from the bedside parameter boxes to available parameter fields at the Infinity CentralStation.Allocation of Parameters - Telemetry ChannelsThe waveforms selected on the system Patient View Setup screen (Chapter 5) determine the display order of parameters and waveforms in Main Screen. Any changes in the waveform and parameter assignments in Bed View are automatically reflected in Main Screen.Notes AreaIf the NOTES function is enabled (page 4-6), an area for entering patient notes displays before each patient window. Notes are only stored locally at the Infinity CentralStation, they are not stored at the bedside monitor. Stored notes are deleted when you:zreconnect any bedside monitor to that network location,zdischarge the patient,zremove the patient from Main Screen, orNOTE: If a single-value Primary Parameter has minor parameter(s) associated with it (e.g., SpO2 has PLS as a minor parameter), the Infinity CentralStation designates these minor parameter(s) as secondary.

Bed View Screen Layout VF8 Infinity CentralStation 8-7 Waveform AreaEach waveform in Bed View consists of approximately 4 seconds of data. Waveform colors for both telemetry and bedside patients are described on 8-12.The waveform area does not display a waveform when:zthe bedside monitor/transmitter is disconnected,zthe patient has been transferred or discharged,zthe bedside monitor is in Standby mode,zthe bedside monitor or Infinity Telemetry receiver  is offline, orzthe wireless bedside monitor battery is depleted. Telemetry Signal StrengthIn a telemetry system there are conditions during which signal losses or “dropouts” can occur.  When there is a signal loss the Infinity CentralStation displays a blank  in the telemetry patient’s waveform.  However, during installation, you can configure the Infinity CentralStation to display a “dropout” as a negative square-wave (see page 7-7). To change how the Infinity CentralStation displays dropouts, contact Dräger Service.Putting Monitoring Into Standby ModeStandby mode allows you to suspend patient monitoring when necessary. When patient monitoring is in Standby mode, you can still view all of the patient’s stored data such as trends and configuration settings from any Infinity CentralStation with the client option. When selected, Standby mode will display the message, Standby prominently in the center of the waveform.1 If a code condition is activated at the bedside during an alarm, the banner CODE replaces the alarm message.2 If an alarm occurs while this banner is displayed, the alarm message replaces the banner for the duration of the alarm.3 This banner appears if no local bedside messages are displayed. NOTE: Waveforms in Bed View are always updated at a 25 mm/s sweep speed, regardless of the selected bedside monitor setting.WARNING!

Alarm Limits and Arrhythmia Setup VF8 Infinity CentralStation 8-11 Alarm Limits and Arrhythmia SetupThe Bed View application provides Alarm Limits and Arrhythmia setup tables for customizing a patient’s monitoring attributes. Bedside PatientsFor bedside patients, the Alarm Limits and Arrhythmia setup tables reflect those at the corresponding bedside monitor. When a bedside monitor acknowledges that it is being remotely controlled, a message is displayed in the local message area at the bedside monitor. Once the bed has successfully processed the change, the setup tables at the bedside monitor and at the Infinity CentralStation reflect the change. If the bedside monitor is unable to receive or process a change in setup, the following happens:zThe table entry returns to the previously saved value. zA corresponding status message is displayed in the status area of the Infinity CentralStation (7-13).zAn attention tone sounds.Telemetry PatientsConfiguration of a telemetry patient’s alarm setup is similar to that of a bedside patient except for the addition of SpO2, PLS, and ST parameters for the telemetry patient. For Telemetry patients you can select Alarm Limits and Arrhythmia setup screens according to patient category (5-2).  Configuring Alarm LimitsFor information regarding Alarm Setup, see Chapter 13.Configuring Arrhythmia SetupRefer to Chapter 10 for setup information.

Infinity TruST 12-Lead Monitoring Option VF8 Infinity CentralStation 8-13 Infinity TruST 12-Lead Monitoring OptionInfinity TruST is a 12-lead ECG obtained with only six conventionally placed electrodes. Its function is based on the knowledge that, in general, the signal from a measured lead provides information common to other leads. When this information is appropriately combined, the signal of leads not otherwise configured can be interpolated. This type of lead derivation has a high correlation with measured leads. TRUST electrodes are placed in accordance with current clinical practice. Like a conventional 6-lead ECG system, waveforms from eight leads (typically, Leads I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V2, and V5) can be viewed on the Infinity CentralStation. These leads are processed and displayed in the same manner as a conventional system. However, unlike a conventional system, TRUST processes and displays four additional lead waveforms. These derived leads are viewable in the same fashion as the conventional leads, but are designated as dV1, dV3, dV4, and dV6. Electrode configuration includes limb leads and the selection of any two precordial leads. Leads V2 and V5 are typically used as these often provide the highest correlation for the remaining precordial leads. Alternate lead configurations can be selected based on signal amplitudes and clinical requirements. See Appendix A: and Chapter 3 for details regarding proper electrode placement.Use of TruST Reference ECGWhen TruST 12-lead is activated, the Infinity CentralStation uses generic coefficients that are based on a general population. Performance in this mode meets the established correlation to conventional leads.NOTE: Infinity TruST is intended for 12-lead ECG monitoring with a reduced electrode set. Reconstructed leads are intended for real-time assessment of ST segment changes. WARNING!zThere may be instances where the QRS morphology in one of the four derived leads differs from that of an equivalent conventional lead. In these instances, always refer to the conventional lead.zDo not select derived leads for ECG processing.
8-14 Infinity CentralStation VF88: Patient Setup - Bed ViewThe following table shows the correlation between TruST generic derived leads and conventionally measured leads for various lead configurations (a value of 1.0 being a perfect match).The performance above is based on a minimum 0.3 mV amplitude and QRS duration < 180 milli-seconds on patients with a body surface area (BSA) of 1.5 – 2.5 m2. Performance on patients outside these ranges may be less.Patient View Setup Chest Lead SelectionWhen the Infinity TruST 12-Lead Monitoring option is enabled (18-11) and the TruST 12-Lead: setting is On, recommended lead placements for Set V and Set V+ are V2 and V5. Available selections are V1 through V6 and the lead selections must match the actual electrode placement on the patient’s body. With the two actual selected chest leads, the Infinity CentralStation calculates and reconstructs the four remaining chest lead measurements designated as dV1 through dV6. Chest lead selection on the Patient View Setup Screen will affect the patient’s related screen displays (e.g. ST Setup, ST Points, Trend Graphs, Trend Table, All Leads).Recommended Lead Configurations and Respective CorrelationCorrelation Precordial Lead Placement0.956 V2, V50.953 V2, V60.953 V1, V50.952 V3, V50.950 V1, V6NOTE: When using  Infinity M300, the precordial leads are always V2, V5.  They cannot be changed.

The Infinity CentralStation provides a list of available wireless monitors in the care unit.Moving Between Wired and Wireless CommunicationWhen a wireless bedside monitor is docked at an Infinity Docking Station, the monitor automatically accepts the Infinity Docking Station’s Care Unit and Bed Label assignments and communicates with the Infinity Network. When the bedside monitor is removed from the Infinity Docking Station, the wireless network maintains communication.NOTE:zFor detailed information about the configuration and operation of wireless components in the Infinity Network, refer to the Dräger publication, “Infinity OneNet Network Planning and Installation Handbook” or  “Infinity Network Planning, Design, and Installation Handbook, Third Edition”.zSee specific monitor documentation for information about using the monitor with the Infinity CentralStation in a wireless network configuration.
Admitting Wireless Monitor Patients VF8 Infinity CentralStation 9-5 Assigning a Wireless Monitor to a Patient WindowIf a wireless bedside monitor is removed from the Infinity Docking Station (IDS) and it is configured to keep the IDS bed label, the Infinity CentralStation patient window remains assigned to the wireless monitor and displays a wireless icon before the bed label. When the wireless monitor returns to the IDS, the wireless icon disappears from the patient window bed label. If you dock another bedside monitor on the IDS associated with the wireless monitor, the new monitor can select the same bed label and becomes available for assignment on the Assign Bed screen in the Main Screen (page 4-5).You must re-assign an Infinity CentralStation patient window in the following situations:zIf a wireless monitor bed label is changed to one that is not currently assigned to a Infinity CentralStation patient window, orzIf you dock another bedside monitor on a IDS whose bed label is currently associated with a wireless monitor.Collecting Full/Event Disclosure DataIf a patient is currently admitted to Full/Event disclosure and is using a wireless monitor, all data collection will continue regardless of bed label change.1Waveform of patient on monitor communicating to the network via IDS2After monitor is removed from IDS and begins wireless communication, the waveform is preceded by icon.NOTE: There will be short breaks in Full/Event Disclosure data while  the network  resumes communication with the patient monitor.

9-8 Infinity CentralStation VF89: Admit/Discharge/TransferThe Patient Transfer FunctionYou can transfer a patient’s trend and demographic data from one location to another. For example, you can transfer data from a telemetry patient at the Infinity CentralStation to any bedside monitor on the Infinity network or vice versa, or you can transfer telemetry patients’ data from one Infinity CentralStation to another. All transfers must be initiated from the destination device (the monitor/Infinity CentralStation you wish to transfer the data to). Special Data Transfer ConditionsDuring a patient transfer from a telemetry patient to a Gamma/Gamma XL/Vista monitor, only the data from ST leads I and II is sent to the monitor. ST values may be offset by up to 3 minutes due to different trend update intervals between devices. Transferring Data to the Infinity CentralStation1. Put the source device (bedside monitor or Infinity CentralStation Telemetry patient window or Infinity M300) in Standby mode. Only beds that are in Standby mode are candidates for transfer.2.

10-2 Infinity CentralStation VF810: ArrhythmiaOverviewWith the Infinity CentralStation, Infinity Telemetry, Infinity M300 system, arrhythmia monitoring is available for adult and pediatric patients. The mode you select (Full, Basic, or OFF) determines the events processed.  Arrhythmia monitoring is not available for neonates.The system matches incoming beats against beats previously recorded and stored in a reference template. Through this process, the system can verify an arrhythmia event’s occurrence, classify it, and draw clinically useful conclusions based on the frequency and morphology of the signal. The system considers all beats questionable if a baseline shift exceeds specified limits.  The system uses the results of QRS processing for arrhythmia analysis. During multiple-lead arrhythmia processing, each lead’s QRS complexes are measured and compared against its learned dominant normal beat. The system classifies beats based on information acquired from all available leads.About the Arrhythmia Template The system creates a reference template based on its identification of the patient’s dominant QRS pattern. It then classifies individual beats by comparing them with the learned reference template. In the third and final phase of arrhythmia processing, the monitor compares sequences of valid beats with the template.In most situations, the learning phase takes about 30 to 40 seconds. If the system detects more than 100 QRS complexes and less than 16 matching beats, it displays the message, <Unable to learn>. While the system is in the learning phase, all arrhythmia alarms and trend collection are suspended; LRN appears in the parameter box; and the message, Relearning, displays in the local message area. WARNING: Electrical artifacts of non-cardiac origin, such as seizure, may prevent detection of certain arrhythmias.  Do not rely solely on ECG with seizure-prone patients.NOTE: Arrhythmia detection may not work properly in all patients. The monitor classifies only QRS complexes > 0.25mV, for widths > 70ms. An artifact condition (ARTF) may occur when the ECG signal does not meet these minimums. While continuing to monitor HR, you can turn off ARR Monitoring for patients whose QRS complexes do not meet these minimums.
Relearning the Template VF8 Infinity CentralStation 10-3 Relearning the TemplateDuring the Relearn process a beat classification template is created against which each detected beat is compared and classified. An automatic Relearn is initiated in the following conditions:zArrhythmia monitoring is enabled for the first time.zA patient’s monitor (or Infinity CentralStation) comes out of Standby mode.zThe processing mode (ECG1 or ECG 1&2) changes.zLead assignment changes.zTRUST monitoring is enabled.zThe Telemetry Patient Category changes.During the learning process no arrhythmia events are reported, and the parameter area displays the message LRN.Dräger recommends that you initiate a manual Relearn of the patient’s normal template in the following instances:zEight hours after the last Relearn occurred,zAfter the patient’s electrodes are repositioned, replaced, or disturbed, orzIf the message CANNOT LEARN <lead> or CANNOT LEARN is displayed.Initiating a Relearn1. Open the patient’s Bed View screen.2. Click on Relearn in the Bed View menu bar.3. Click on Relearn ECG.Once the Relearn successfully completes, the assigned leads do not require relearning, even if they fall off and are reconnected.If the message CANNOT LEARN is displayed in the patient’s waveform area, try to Relearn once more and confirm the quality of the signal. If the message persists, reposition or properly replace the electrodes, then try again.NOTE:  If you assign more than one lead and if only one of those leads is available, the algorithm will learn from that lead only. NOTE: If the ST option is enabled, the ST algorithm also performs a Relearn of the ST template whenever a Relearn of the arrhythmia template is initiated.

Arrhythmia Beat and Rhythm Classification VF8 Infinity CentralStation 10-7 Arrhythmia Beat and Rhythm Classification Beat classification refers to the analysis of individual beats. If the new beat’s features do not match those of the reference template, the new beat is classified as abnormal, paced, or questionable. The monitor uses all detected beats to calculate the heart rate, eliminating questionable beats from arrhythmia classifications.Category  DefinitionASY Asystole: indicated if 4 seconds pass without the detection of a valid QRS complexVF Ventricular Fibrillation: indicated if the source device identifies a sinusoidal waveform with fibrillation characteristicsVT 1Ventricular Tachycardia: “N” or more consecutive PVCs have been detected with a beat-to-beat rate ≥ the VT rate.RUN 1Ventricular run: a series of 3 to “N – 1” consecutive PVCs with a beat-to-beat rate ≥ the VT rateAIVR Accelerated idioventricular rhythm: a series of 3 or more PVCs with a rate less than the VT rateCPT Ventricular Couplet: a sequence of beats with the pattern: normal, PVC, PVC, normalBGM Ventricular Bigeminy: a sequence of beats with the pattern: normal, PVC, normal, PVC, normalTACH 1,2 Sinus Tachycardia: “N” or more consecutive normal beats with a beat-to-beat rate ≥ to the set TACH rateBRDY 2Sinus bradycardia: 8 or more consecutive normal beats are detected with an average rate ≤  to the set sinus bradycardia rate.PAUS Pause: a sequence of 2 normal or PVC beats with an interval ≥ to pause rate value in seconds (± 100ms)SVT Supra ventricular Tachycardia: “N” or more consecutive normal beats with a beat-to-beat rate ≥ the SVT rateARTF Artifact: indicated if more than 50% of the beats in the last minute are questionable 1 “N” represents the value in the Arrhythmia setup table ’Count’ column.2 Arrival of a VPB or other abnormal beat breaks the analysis sequence and analysis restarts.

11-2 Infinity CentralStation VF811: Telemetry Pulse Oximetry and NIBP MonitoringOverviewInfinity Telemetry and Infinity M300 offer pulse oximetry monitoring.The Infinity M300 contains an internal pulse oximeter.  To enable pulse oximetry monitoring through Infinity M300, a license option must be enabled. Infinity Telemetry connects to the MicrO2+ Pulse Oximeter to provide pulse oximetry monitoring.  Infinity Telemetry also connects to Infinity monitors using the Vital Connection cable for both pulse oximetry and NIBP monitoring (See page 11-5).SPO2 and PLS measurements and their associated trend values are labeled identically regardless of the source (Infinity monitor/Vital Connection Cable, MicrO2/MicrO2+, or bedside monitor).
Pulse Oximetry VF8 Infinity CentralStation 11-3 Pulse Oximetry A pulse oximeter determines the percentage of functional hemoglobin saturated with oxygen (% SpO2) in the patient’s arterial blood. A light sensor on the patient’s finger measures the absorption levels of red and infrared light. Since oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin absorb different amounts of red light, but nearly the same amount of infrared light, the monitor uses the difference between the two measurements to calculate the percentage of saturated hemoglobin. Because light absorption varies with blood volume and blood volume varies with the pulse rate, a pulse rate (PLS) can also be derived.  WARNING!zBefore you start your monitoring session, please refer to precautions on page xviii, in these Instructions for Use.zCheck the sensor at least every four hours. Move the sensor if there is any sign of skin irritation or impaired circulation.zBright light can interfere with pulse oximetry measurements, causing erratic or missing values.  When the sensor is likely to become exposed  to direct bright light, it should be covered with an opaque material.zCarboxyhemoglobin may erroneously increase readings.  The level of increase is approximately equal to the amount of carboxyhemoglobin present.zDyes, nail polishes and other substances, may absorb an abnormal amount of red light, which can effect the accuracy of the measurement. Be sure to apply the sensor to a site free of any artificial pigments.NOTE:zA functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of a pulse Oximeter probe or a pulse Oximeter monitor.  Because pulse oximeter equipment measurements are statistically distributed, only about two-thirds of pulse oximeter equipment measurements can be expected to fall within ± Arms of the value measured by a CO-oximeter.zIf there is independent demonstration that a particular calibration curve is accurate for the combination of a pulse oximeter monitor and a pulse oximeter probe, then a functional tester can measure the contribution of a monitor to the total error of a monitor/probe system. The functional tester can then measure how accurately a particular pulse oximeter monitor is reproducing that calibration curve.

Vital Connection Cable VF8 Infinity CentralStation 11-5 Vital Connection Cable The Vital Connection Cable links the Infinity Telemetry Transmitter with a compatible Infinity bedside patient monitor so that a telemetry patient’s SPO2 and NIBP measurements can be transmitted to the Infinity CentralStation. Getting an NIBP or SPO2 measurement1. Turn on Pulse Oximetry monitoring (11-4).2. Set up the Patient View screen Channels (6-4) so that NIBP and SPO2 + PLS parameters display in the patient window.3. Plug the appropriate end of the Vital Connection Cable into the local telemetry patient’s transmitter programming port.4. Attach the other end of the Vital Connection Cable into the X-8 port of a compatible bedside monitor on the Infinity network.Be sure that the Vital Connection LED is lit. This determines an active connection.5.  For details about obtaining SpO2 and NIBP measurements, refer to the appropriate Infinity patient monitor Instructions for Use.NOTE: Use of the Vital Connection cable requires software version VF5 or higher in the Infinity CentralStation and Infinity Kappa, Delta, Delta XL, Gamma X XL, and Vista XL patient monitors.NOTE: If you use the Vital Connection Cable to spot-check SPO2, you must disable the SPO2 alarm to avoid a reoccurring Advisory alarm caused by disconnecting the Vital Connection cable. If the SPO2 alarm is not disabled, an Advisory alarm will continue every minute.

12-2 Infinity CentralStation VF812: Telemetry ST Analysis OptionOverviewST deviation measurements are performed on averaged ECG segments. An averaged ECG segment is 900 ms long and is calculated from a minimum of 4 normal QRS complexes having occurred in the previous 15 seconds. To reduce the effects of artifact, only normal beats are included in the average (if no normal beats are available, no complex or corresponding parameter box values display). ST parameters are included in the trend function, and you can configure the ST alarm functions as for any other parameter (see Chapter 13).ST Segment MorphologyST segment deviations are defined in terms of displacement above or below the isoelectric level. The measurement compares the isoelectric point to the ST deviation measurement point.The isoelectric point defines the point of zero voltage (no electrical activity, 0 mm) with a default position of 28 ms before the onset of the QRS complex on the horizontal (time) axis. The ST deviation point occurs in the ST segment between the QRS offset (J point) and the T-wave, at a default position of 80 milliseconds after the QRS offset.
Overview VF8 Infinity CentralStation 12-3 The value of the ST measurement point is compared to the isoelectric point value, and the difference between the two measurements is the ST deviation. The onset and offset points for the QRS complex are determined by the QRS detection algorithm.1mV 6ST Deviation2Fiducial Point 7ST Measurement PointDefault ST Measurement Point = 80 ms after QRS Offset 3ST Level 8QRS Offset4Time 9QRS Onset5Isoelectric Level 10 Isoelectric PointDefault ST Measurement Point = 28 ms before  QRS Onset
12-4 Infinity CentralStation VF812: Telemetry ST Analysis OptionParameter DisplayWhen ST monitoring is enabled the Infinity CentralStation parameter area lists the ECG leads selected by the user as data sources for ST analysis.The ST values displayed depend on the transmitter lead configuration mode.Sensor ApplicationThe quality of SpO2 measurements depends largely on the strength and quality of the signal received by the sensor.Infinity M300 and Infinity Telemetry support Dräger, Nellcor and Masimo SpO2 sensors. The Patient View shows which sensor type is currently selected. If you connect a sensor different from the type shown in the Patient View screen, the Infinity CentralStation displays an error message.STEPS: Applying the Sensor1. Select a sensor that is best suited for your patient. 2. Clean reusable sensors before and after each use.3. Position the sensor correctly and attach it to your patient (see sensor manufacturer’s recommendations).4. Connect the sensor to the intermediate cable.5. Inspect the sensor application site frequently. If the sensor is too tight, it may damage the tissue and impede blood flow. If the sensor is damaged, do not use it.NOTE: For a complete list of accessories available with this product, contact your Draeger Medical Systems, Inc. local representative to obtain a catalogue.CAUTION: Read the instructions provided with the sensor to select the best application technique and to review all safety related information.

13-2 Infinity CentralStation VF813: AlarmsOverview The Infinity CentralStation is the primary alarm annunciator for telemetry patients; for bedside patients the bedside monitor is the primary alarm annunciator. For Telemetry patients, the Infinity CentralStation issues visual and audible alarm signals for the following:zHR, SpO2, PLS, ST, NIBP (Infinity Telemetry only) and arrhythmia event parameters and associated technical conditions,zPhysiological conditions that are detected by the algorithms,zTechnical network events, andzInfinity CentralStation or telemetry system error conditions. For patients connected to Bedside Monitors and MIB-connected devices, all alarm signals are sent to the Infinity CentralStation for display and broadcast.The Infinity CentralStation can report surveillance alarm messages for life-threatening and active serious alarms of any bedside monitor within the monitoring unit even though it is not assigned to its current Main Screen. (see 13-5)Alarm ValidationInfinity Telemetry:The Infinity CentralStation generates an alarm when a parameter remains outside alarm limits longer than an assigned delay time. If the limit violation ceases within the delay time, no alarm occurs.  WARNING!  For primary monitoring and diagnosis of bedside patients, use the bedside monitor. Use the Infinity CentralStation only for remote assessment of a patient’s status.Parameter Upper Limit Alarm Delay Lower Limit Alarm DelayHR 2 seconds no delaySpO2/SpO2* 4 seconds 4 secondsΔSpO2no delay N/APLS/PLS* 4 seconds no delayST (telemetry patients) user-defined (12-9) user-defined (12-9)
Alarm Grades VF8 Infinity CentralStation 13-3 Infinity M300    For bedside monitor alarm delays, see the applicable monitor Instructions for Use.Alarm GradesAll alarms are classified according to three alarm grades:zLife-threateningzSeriouszAdvisoryEach alarm grade has its own unique tone and color scheme (13-5). Depending on the seriousness of the alarm condition, alarms are either Latching or Non-latching. NOTE: The Alarm delay time from an Infinity M300 device to the Infinity CentralStation is < 4 seconds.Parameter Upper Limit Alarm Delay Lower Limit Alarm DelayHR 6 seconds 6 secondsSpO26 seconds 10 secondsPLS 6 seconds 10 secondsST 60 seconds 60 secondsNOTE:zIf communication is interrupted between the network and the Infinity M300 device, monitoring will continue locally and the Infinity M300 automatically sets its volume to 100%.  Any alarms that are active at the time the Infinity M300 lost connection and all future alarms will be annunciated locally.zIf there is an active alarm while Infinity M300 has lost connection with the Infinity CentralStation, the display will not shut off despite the Infinity CentralStation Display Shut Off Timer setting (page 16-15). You can not shut off the display manually unless the alarm is paused.NOTE: If several alarms are simultaneously active for a single patient, the Infinity CentralStation reports the highest grade active alarm (alarm that has not been silenced and whose condition remains valid).
13-4 Infinity CentralStation VF813: AlarmsLatching alarmsLatching alarms indicate either life-threatening or serious conditions such as an asystole or a ventricular fibrillation. Life-threatening alarm audible and visual indicators continue (even if the alarm condition is no longer valid) until the alarm is manually acknowledged. Serious alarms behave similarly, except that only the visual alarm indicators continue until you acknowledge the alarm.Non-latching AlarmsNon-latching Alarms indicate advisory conditions and continue for as long as the event exists. The visual and audible alarm signals stop automatically when the alarm condition ends. You can also silence non-latching alarms manually (13-7).Visual and audible Alarm SignalsNOTE: A latching alarm is cleared if another life-threatening or serious alarm occurs for the same parameter.

The Surveillance Feature VF8 Infinity CentralStation 13-5 The Surveillance FeatureThis feature provides alarm messages for life-threatening and serious alarms to bedside monitors that are not currently assigned to the Infinity CentralStation Main Screen but are located within the same monitoring unit.Display of Surveillance Alarm MessagesAll surveillance alarm messages overwrite the date/time field of the Main Screen status area. A surveillance alarm message includes the bed label and alarm grade.If the surveillance alarm is for a wireless bedside monitor an icon precedes the alarm message.Message background colors vary with alarm grade and status.Multiple Alarm Situations/PrioritiesIf several beds issue surveillance alarms the alarm messages display alternately for three seconds at the Infinity CentralStation. Audible Alarm SignalsThe Infinity CentralStation sounds the latest alarm condition with the highest priority. Audible alarm signals accompanying surveillance alarms act the same as other alarms (13-4). Silencing Surveillance AlarmsA surveillance alarm continues until it is either acknowledged or the alarm condition ceases.You can silence the audible alarm signal of a surveillance alarm locally by clicking on Alarm Silence in the Main Screen menu bar or by pressing F1.Alarm Grade Status Background ColorLife-threatening Alarm condition is valid and the alarm has not been silenced at the bed.Flashing red Alarm condition is no longer valid but the alarm has not been silenced at the bed.Alarm condition is valid and the alarm has been silenced at the bed.Solid red Serious Alarm condition is valid and the alarm has no been silenced at the bed.Flashing yellowAlarm condition is valid and the alarm has been silenced at the bed.Solid yellow
13-6 Infinity CentralStation VF813: AlarmsSpecial Surveillance Alarm ConditionsMIB Ventilator AlarmsFor MIB-connected ventilator events, the Infinity CentralStation provides alarm messages which are accompanied by a serious alarm tone. However, not all ventilator messages are reported at the Infinity CentralStation. MIB ventilator alarms are described in detail in Chapter 17. The most recent MIB ventilator alarm message appears in the patient’s top waveform channel in orange on the Main Screen. In Bed View the MIB ventilator alarm message appears in the information area in orange. MIB ventilator alarm messages are non-latching. If a patient experiences multiple alarm conditions simultaneously, the messages rotate. Unlike other Bed View parameters, the parameter boxes of MIB ventilator parameters do not blink while in alarm.Alarm GroupsUse an alarm group to configure monitors and telemetry patients to display their highest grade active alarm at each device in the alarm group. If multiple beds in the alarm group detect an alarm, each corresponding alarm message briefly rotates along the bottom of the screen on each device. To assign a telemetry channel to an alarm group, see 5-3. For bedside patients, you must set the alarm group at the bedside monitor. (Refer to the monitor Instructions for Use.)Condition Effect on surveillance alarmBedside CPS/IDS goes offline or fails while a surveillance alarm for that bed is reported at the Infinity CentralStation.Surveillance alarm is canceled at the bedside.A bedside monitor goes offline or fails while a surveillance alarm for that bed is reported at the Infinity CentralStation.The bedside CPS/IDS or monitor changes to stand-alone mode.The bedside CPS/IDS or monitor detects that it has the same IP address as another device on the network.Monitor is removed from the network. Surveillance alarm is canceled.
Silencing Alarms VF8 Infinity CentralStation 13-7 Silencing AlarmsThe Audio Pause (1 min) function clears all audible and visual alarm indicators for life-threatening and serious latched alarms (13-4). This function also suspends audible signals for life-threatening and serious alarms associated with conditions that are still valid for one minute. There are two ways to silence alarms.After the Audio Pause (1 min) period expires, the alarm tone resumes if the alarm condition still exists. Visual alarm indicators are also reactivated.Silencing Local AlarmsTo silence all active local alarms (telemetry, bedside, and MIB alarms) at the Infinity CentralStation for one minute:zClick on Audio Pause (1 min) in the Main Screen menu bar, or zPress the F1 fixed key.A local Audio Pause (1 min) has the following consequences:zThe alarm tone stops for all active alarms at the Infinity CentralStation for one minute.zThe affected parameter area continues to flash in the color of the highest grade alarm.Local Audio Pause (1 min)• Silences active alarms for all local patients at the Infinity CentralStation for 1-minute. Bed Audio Pause • Silences active alarms for an individual  bedside patient at the Infinity CentralStation and at the bedside monitor for 1-minute, when the Bed Audio Paused function is enabled at the Infinity CentralStation (4-3). • Silences alarms for an individual local telemetry patient.NOTE:zThe Audio Pause (1 min) function also deactivates one-time alarms. The Audio Pause (1 min) button does not remain selected if it has deactivated a one-time alarm. Also, you cannot deactivate the Audio Pause (1 min) state by clicking on the Audio Pause (1 min) button again.zIf a new alarm occurs while an alarm is silenced, the Infinity CentralStation announces the new alarm. Silencing the new alarm resets the timer for all previously silenced alarms for another minute.zThe Audio Paused timer for Infinity M300 is 2 minutes.zWhen the Infinity M300 is already in the Audio Pause state, if you press the  Audio Pause button again at the Infinity CentralStation, the Audio Pause state will be cancelled.

14-2 Infinity CentralStation VF814: Recordings / ReportsOverview From the Infinity CentralStation you can request several types of recordings/reports on the following recorders and printers:zR 50/R 50-N recorders on the network zAn optional network laser printerWhen you request a recording for a bedside patient at the Infinity CentralStation, the request is sent back to the bedside monitor for printing on a recorder assigned at that monitor. For telemetry patients, recordings are printed at the recorder assigned to the local Infinity CentralStation (page 4-5). If an assigned recorder is unavailable at the time of a recording request, the request (or recorded data) is stored and executed as soon as the recorder becomes available.If the Full/Event Disclosure and/or VentCentral options are enabled, you can also print a variety of reports on a laser printer.Status messages in the Main Screen status area indicate when a request is accepted, canceled, or rejected. See page 7-13 for a list of Status messages.Laser PrintersA laser printer can print Infinity CentralStation screens and reports. Refer to the manufacturer’s operating instructions for specific information regarding the use of your particular type of laser printer.WARNING: If you require a diagnostic quality recording you must use a Rest ECG Report (page 18-7). Using any recording other than Rest ECG Report may lead to misdiagnosis.NOTE: The R50 recorder should always be installed and configured as part of the Infinity M300 system.NOTE: All Telemetry ECG recordings and reports are filtered at a bandwidth of 0.5 - 40 Hz.  For the filtering bandwidth of a bedside patient’s ECG recording/report, see the bedside monitor Instructions for Use.
Processing of Strip Recordings VF8 Infinity CentralStation 14-3 Processing of Strip RecordingsA recording request can generate an active or pending recording. Active RecordingsIf a recorder is available and no pending recordings of higher priority exist, the recording begins printing immediately. If a recording is interrupted and another recorder is available, the complete recording is rerouted and printed at the available recorder. If no recorder is available, the recording or request becomes a pending recording and is added to the top of the pending recording list.Pending RecordingsIf no recorder is available to process a print request, the data or recording request is stored until it can be printed. Pending recordings are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. As soon as the buffer is full, the oldest request is deleted. The buffer can store the following number of recordings for each patient:ztwo manually requested timed recordingszone continuous recordingzone automatic recording (alarm or event recording)Requesting a Remote RecordingOther Infinity Central Stations within the same monitoring unit can request recordings of local patients. These requests use the recording attributes of the remote device. NOTE:  The actual data of a timed recording is stored, then printed. For a continuous recording only the request is stored; the data is that which is current at the actual print time.
14-4 Infinity CentralStation VF814: Recordings / ReportsRecorder SetupThe R 50 and R 50-N recorders have two buttons:zThe mm/s button on the recorder’s front panel (Alternate Speed on older recorders) The Alternate Speed button allows you to change the recording speed while a recording is in progress. The recorder stops briefly and then restarts automatically at the new recording speed. zThe Stop button stops a recording in progress.Replacing the Recorder Paper1. Open the paper door and remove the empty paper roll and any paper remaining in the printing mechanism.2. Place a new paper roll with printed side facing up into the spool holder. Unroll a few inches of paper from the bottom.3. Align the paper roll with the paper guides, and close the door. (If not aligned properly, the paper may jam.)4. Generate a timed recording to verify that the recorder is connected properly, and the paper is loaded correctly.Setting up a Recording For general recording setup attributes, see page 4-5. For telemetry-specific recording setup information see page 5-8.
Recording Types VF8 Infinity CentralStation 14-5 Recording TypesRecording Type Priority Description Alarm recording overrideContinuous recording1 A strip recording that runs until interrupted manually (generated from Infinity CentralStation).A continuous recording request will cancel any alarm recording in progress.Alarm recording2 A timed recording generated automatically in response to a limit violation for a parameter whose recording function is enabled.• If a second alarm recording is requested within 5 seconds of the first, the second request is ignored if the alarm grade is an equal or a lower alarm grade (e.g. if the first is a life-threatening and the second is a serious alarm).• If the second alarm recording is a higher alarm grade, the first recording is canceled and the second is printed.• If the second request occurs 5 seconds after the first, both recordings are either printed or are stored and printed later.Timed recording(Manual)3 A strip recording that consists of delay and real-time data and runs for a specified time (generated from or Infinity CentralStation).Event recording4 A timed recording that is generated automatically in response to an occurrence of an arrhythmia event whose recording function is enabled.
14-6 Infinity CentralStation VF814: Recordings / ReportsTimed RecordingsTimed recordings are strip recordings of a specified duration. They contain delay data originating before the recording is initiated and real-time data acquired after the recording started. Timed recordings consist of up to two waveforms. For a waveform to be printed, it must first be displayed. Pressure waveforms are recorded in either Standard or Pressure Overlap mode, depending on their configuration at the bedside monitor (see Instructions for Use for specific bedside monitor). The size of the printed waveforms is identical to the screen display.Manual vs. Automatic RecordingsTimed recordings are either requested manually or generated automatically when a parameter or arrhythmia event occurs whose recording function is enabled. For detailed information on how to enable/disable an event’s/parameter’s automatic recording function, see page 10-5 and page 13-13. An alarm strip recording is the same as one manually requested except that it has a different recording type in the header.Telemetry RecordingsAll alarm-generated telemetry strip recordings ignore Manual timed settings and use the following fixed settings. zDuration: 20 secondszDelay: 10 secondszSpeed: 25 mm/secHeader Information The header along the top of the recording contains a diagnostic code, information about the patient, the recorder settings, the monitor, and the monitored parameters. It also shows the values and Alarm Silence indicators that are valid at the time of the recording request.NOTE: If the patient was monitored for less time than the specified delay, the amount of delay data is adjusted accordingly. If no delay data is available at the recording request time, that part of the printed waveform is blank.

Recording Types VF8 Infinity CentralStation 14-9 Continuous RecordingsContinuous recordings run until stopped manually and can only be generated for an individual patient. They consist of up to two waveforms which are printed the same size as those displayed. Pressure waveforms are recorded in either Standard or Overlapped mode, depending on selected bedside monitor setting.Header InformationContinuous recordings contain a header, which is identical to that of timed recordings, except that the recording type data is different and there is no data for DELAY TIME. 11 TACH count 5-F value = TACH count(where A-F corresponds to 10-15)12 TACH rate 0-A value = (TACH rate - 100)/10(where A corresponds to 10)13 BRDY rate 0-F value = (BRDY rate - 30)/5(where A-F corresponds to 10-15)14 PAUS rate 0-5 value = (PAUS rate - 1.0)/0.5(where A-F corresponds to 10-15)15 HR source EPSECG is HR sourceIBP (AP) is HR sourceSPO2 is HR source16 RESP mode OMARESP monitoring offManualAutomatic17 RESP size 1-K value = (RESP size)/5(where A-K corresponds to 10-20)18 Minutes since breath detector initialization00-99 Number of minutes that have elapsed since the breath detector was initialized.(where 99 corresponds to ≥ 99 minutes)20 Not used <Space>21 Monitor model ABIJKTVSC 9000Delta/Delta XL/Kappa/GammaX XLSC 6000Gamma/Gamma XL/VistaInfinity ACSInfinity TelemetryInfinity M30022 - 26 Software version xxxxx(ASCII)First five characters of base software (for example, VA1-1)Digit Description Possible Values Definition

Reports VF8 Infinity CentralStation 14-11 Full Disclosure Strip ReportThe Full Disclosure strip report prints the screen-displayed waveforms. A report page may contain a 2-channel strip, each twenty seconds long with data centered around the cursor time. To request a Full Disclosure strip report, see page 14-22. Full Disclosure Hour ReportThe Hour Report consists of up to three user-selectable waveforms in a compressed format of one minute per row. There are 60 minutes of data per page. Each data channel produces one report page. Data is captured 30 minutes before cursor time.To request this report, see page 14-22.Full Disclosure 24 Hour ReportThe 24 Hour Report is similar to the Hour Report except that it prints 24 hours of data (24 pages). The end time is the cursor time and data is collected 24 hours before that time. The report supports one waveform selection from one of three channels (Channel 1 is the default). To request this report, see page 14-22.Event Disclosure Strip ReportsAn Event Disclosure strip report contains 20 seconds of data centered around the time of the event. It also includes event class label, time, date, and the ECG lead on which an event is detected (if applicable). To request this report, see page 14-22.
