CVA Detection
When the amplitude of the respiration waveform decreases due to causes such as respiratory
pause, the ECG waveform may be superimposed on to the respiration waveform, making the RR
equal to the HR. This condition is called CVA (Cardio-Vascular Artifact), and is detected using
the CVA detection function.
If the ECG waveform is superimposed on to the respiration waveform, with HR (RR) 30bpm, for 20
seconds or over (10 seconds or over for neonates) and the CVA detection function set to ON, the
“CVA detected message will be displayed, and an alarm sound will be generated.
This function will be effective when Impedance is set as the RR source.
1. Press the Configuration
key to display the setup menu for setting the CVA detection.
2. Select ON or OFF .
ON
will generate an alarm and display a message when CVA is detected.
OFF
will not perform CVA detection.
