Coincidence Alarm
The coincidence alarm alerts you when the respiration rate is
within 20% of the heart rate over three consecutive breaths. This
alarm indicates that the monitor may be counting heart beat arti-
facts as respiration signals. The monitor alarms and displays the
message Coincidence if the coincidence alarm is turned on. If
the coincidence alarm is off, the monitor does not alarm but still
displays the message. This alarm grade is serious for neonatal
monitoring and advisory for adult and pediatric monitoring.
Check and change the electrode placement if you receive a coin-
cidence message until you obtain a clear respiration signal.
STEPS: Turning the Coincidence Alarm On/Off
1. Click on the Rsp parameter box.
