Note — When operating with the IntelliVue Information Center Release N
or earlier, the ST/AR Arrhythmia Algorithm operates and generates alarms
independently at both the MX40 and the Information Center. Therefore,
you may see slight differences between the two, even though the alarm
settings and limits are the same.
Using ECG Alarms
At the Information Center, ECG alarms can be switched on and off and the
high and low alarm limits changed just like other measurement alarms, as
described in the Alarms chapter. Special alarm features which apply only to
ECG are described here.
Extreme Alarm Limits for Heart Rate
The extreme rate alarms, Extreme Tachy and Extreme Brady, are set at the
Information Center by adding a set value (the D value) to the high and low
alarm limits.
