Using Philips Patient Care System with an Arrhythmia
Computer
Note—The patient monitors perform analysis on the patient’s ECG
waveform. This includes triggering alarms on asystole, bradycardia,
ventricular fibrillation and tachycardia conditions. Enhanced arrythmia
monitoring is available when the patient monitor is connected to one of
Philips’ arrhythmia systems via the Philips monitoring network interface
(see below).
If your monitor is connected via the Philips patient care system to an
arrhythmia computer (78720A), or you have a central station with
arrhythmia channels such as the 78560A or 2300, or you have a M3150A/
M3153A Philips Information Center, you are able to display a delayed
arrhythmia wave. Using the 78720A or the M3150A/M3153A, the
arrhythmia monitoring for your monitor must be turned on or off at the
computer display. Using the 78560A or M2300, this can be done from the
central station or from the monitor itself.
Arrhythmia monitoring is most easily assigned in SELECT BED at the
central station or arrhythmia computer, or from the ARRHYTHMIA
MENU at the monitor. The ARRHYTHMIA MENU enables you to:
• Set up arrhythmia monitoring on a patient (not available for
78720A).
• Tabulate trends and review trend data (M2300 only).
• Review and edit alarms (not available for 78720A).
When arrhythmia ia assigned, the monitor automatically goes to “Paced”
mode. You cannot change the mode back to “Non-Paced” mode until
arrhythmia is unassigned.
Note—The screens that can be seen on the monitor via the
ARRHYTHMIA MENU are all similar to screens on the arrhythmia
computer or central station. For further information on using the
arrhythmia monitoring function, refer to the operating guide for the
arrhythmia computer or central station.
