Patient Data Disk—indicates that the PRM is displaying stored

data from a patient data disk.

Demo Mode—indicates that the PRM is displaying sample data

and operating in demonstration mode.

ECG/EGM Display

The ECG area of the screen shows real-time status information about the

patient and the pulse generator. This information is useful in evaluating system

performance:

• Real-time EGM s can be transmitted from the pace/sense or shocking

electrodes to evaluate lead system integrity and help identify faults such as

lead fractures, insulation breaks, or dislodgments.

• Annotated event markers identify certain intrinsic cardiac and device-related

events, and provide information such as sensed/paced events, decision of

detection criteria, and therapy delivery.

You can select the Details button to enlarge the ECG/EGM screen. The

following options are available:

• Show Device Markers—displays annotated markers

• Enable Surface Filter—minimize s noise on the surface ECG

• Display Pacing Spikes—shows detected pacing spikes, annotated by a

marker on the surface ECG waveform

You can print a real-time EGM report, which includes annotated event markers,

by performing the following steps:

1. Press one of the print speed keys on the PRM (for example, speed key 25).

2. Press the Paper Form Feed key. The EGM report will begin printing.

You can print a report containing the deﬁnitions of all of the annotated markers
