Heart Rate
Heart rate/pulse (HR/Pulse) in the Dash 2500 Patient
Monitor can be derived from one of several sources. In
descending order of priority, they are ECG, pulse oximetry
(SpO
2
), and non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP). Instead of
choosing a single source of HR/Pulse, you can activate the
auto feature to choose the best available source.
