Resp Safety Information
Warning
Apnea The respiration measurement does not recognize obstructive and
mixed apneas. It only indicates an alarm when a pre-adjusted time has
elapsed since the last detected breath.
Resp Accessories To monitor respiration, use only non-OR ECG
accessories as listed in the Accessories Appendix.
Rate Adaptive Pacemakers Implanted pacemakers which can adapt to
the Minute Ventilation rate may occasionally react on the Impedance
measurement used by devices for the determination of the Resp value and
execute pacing with the maximum programmed rate. Turning off the Resp
measurement can prevent this.
