ST/AR Arrhythmia Algorithm

ST/AR Arrhythmia Algorithm
Indications
The ST/AR Arrhythmia Algorithm is indicated for use in instances where the
for Use
clinician decides to monitor cardiac arrhythmias of adult and pediatric patients
and/or the ST segment of adult patients to gain information for treatment,
monitor the adequacy of treatment, or to exclude causes of symptoms.
Safety
Information
During complete heart block or pacemaker failure (to pace or capture), tall
P-waves (greater than 1/5 of the average R-wave height) can be erroneously
counted by the arrhythmia algorithm, resulting in missed detection of
cardiac arrest.
Learning
If you initiate learning during ventricular rhythm, the ectopics can be
incorrectly learned as the normal QRS complex. This can result in missed
detection of subsequent events of V-Tach and V-Fib.
