WARNING
INCORRECT ALGORITHMS, ARRHYTHMIA PROCESSING
AND CALCULATIONS BASED ON PATIENT AGE — After
manually updating or automatically retrieving patient demographic
information from a network database, always confirm that the
entered patient’s date of birth matches the patient’s actual date of
birth. Otherwise the appropriate age-related algorithms, arrhythmia
detection, and calculations will not be applied.
NOTE
The Telemetry Unit Defaults tab sheet settings take precedence when the Patient
Age chosen in the Admit tab sheet and the age default setting from the Telemetry
Unit Defaults tab sheet match.
When the ages do not match, the Admit tab sheet age setting takes precedence.
The options found in the pull-down list for the Patient Age field are:
 0-2 years
 3-10 years
 11-13 years
 Adult (factory default selection)
The Patient Age setting chosen in the Telemetry Unit Defaults tab sheet affects the
alarm settings.
