The Size ECG Submenu
This submenu allows you to configure the following functions.
Size ALL
ECG
Changes display amplitude of
ECG waveforms
NOTES:
• The monitor's normal QRS
detection threshold is
approximately 0.35 mV
depending on the QRS width.
This threshold is used for
channel size selections of 1, 2,
4, or 8 V/cm (see page 8-16
for more details).
• A channel size selection of
0.25 or 0.5 mV/cm, decreases
the QRS detection threshold
to approximately 0.2 mV. In
this case, these low amplitude
QRS complexes may be
included in the heart rate
calculation if the QRS width is
between 70 and 120 ms.
Click on Size ALL ECG to change the amplitude
of all waveforms on the Show All Leads and
the main screen.
