Copy Button
On those screens that contain a Copy but
ton, you can simply copy parameter
values from one screen to another. S elect the Copy button. A window will
appear with a C opy F rom column and a Copy To column, with buttons below
the columns. Select the de sired butto
ns in both columns, and then select
the Copy button.
To program the pulse generator wit
h the copied values, follow the instructions
in the a ssociated product literature for the pulse generator bein g interrogated.
NOTE: If a dd ition al parameters re
quire reprogra mming, repeat the copy
instructions. Multiple parameter change s can be programmed at one time
using batch programming.
ECG Display
The ECG Display shows surface EC
G signals without pulse generator
interrogation when the surface ECG patient cable is connected to the PRM
and the electrodes are attached to the patient. (Howeve r, if a rep ort is being
printed, the surface ECG does n
ot display).
NOTE: The surface ECG m ay be printed on the internal printer/recorder;
press any speed key on the left-
side keypad to record a surface ECG.

lead. The top displayed l ead
will be annotated with the pacing spike marker
if that feature is selected. To display the pacing spike markers correctly, the
Lead II electrodes must be connected to the patient regardless of which lead is
displayed. The Surface Rat
e will d isp lay the ventricu lar rate as the trace runs.
NOTE: The ECG functionality o f the PRM is intended to support diagn ostic
activities pertaining to i
mplanting, programming, and monitoring Bosto n
Scientific implantable pulse generators. The PRM is not inten ded for use as an
ECG monitor or general diagnostic device.
WARNING: Operation of the PRM with physiologi cal signals that are lower
than the minimum detectable amplitude may cause inaccurate results.
To expand the ECG Display to a full screen, select the Details button on the
startup screen. Use the fo llowing screen buttons to change the values and
appearance of the traces
:
• Trace Speed—Select the desired speed on the ECG display: 0 (stop),
25, or 50 mm/s
• Trace 1, Trace 2, Trace 3, and Trace 4—Select the lead traces to be
displayed
• Gain—Sele ct the appropriat e value to adjust the surface gain of the traces
