ECG Monitoring and Pacemakers

When the unit performs ECG monitoring on a patient with an implantable pacemaker, the unit's
Pacer indicator feature can indicate the occurrence of pacemaker signals.

set to On indicating that pace pulse detection is On.
There are situations where ECG artifact could simulate pacemaker signals which could cause
false pacemaker detection and blanking. These situations may cause inaccurate QRS detection
