Selecting a Filter
A filter that changes the bandwidth (a measure of electrical frequencies contained
within an electrical signal) can be selected to “clean” any environmental noise or
baseline drift from the displayed waveform. The available options are Monitor,
Diagnostic, and Exercise.
•
Monitor - This filter is used in normal monitoring conditions. Artifacts which
may cause false alarms are filtered out.
•
Diagnostic - When this filter is selected, the monitor displays an unfiltered,
diagnostic-quality waveform. You can then detect changes in the ECG, such as
R-wave notching.
•
Exercise - This filter implements a narrower bandwidth for situations where
there are many movement artifacts or high interference and environmental
“noise”.
The default option is Monitor. When Diagnostic or Exercise is selected, a
message appears on the main screen display. Only one filter can be specified.
WARNING!!!
14-24
Do not try to estimate ST when Monitor or Exercise filters are
used.
Only Diagnostic filter and ST mode provide reliable ECG
morphology.
