11 - 10 BeneVision N Series Patient Monitor Operator’s Manual
â—† Diagnostic: use when diagnostic quality ECG is required. The unfiltered ECG waveform is displayed so
that changes such as R-wave notching or discrete elevation or depression of the ST segment are
visible.
â—† Monitor: use under normal measurement conditions.
â—† Surgery: use when the signal is distorted by high frequency or low frequency interference. High
frequency interference usually results in large amplitude spikes making the ECG signal look irregular.
Low frequency interference usually leads to wandering or rough baseline. The surgery filter reduces
artifacts and interference from electrosurgical units. Under normal measurement conditions,
selecting Surgery may suppress certain features or details of the QRS complexes.
â—† ST: recommended for ST monitoring.
11.6.4.7 Switching On or Off the Notch Filter
The notch filter removes the line frequency interference. To switch on or off the notch filter, follow this
procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG menu.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Switch on or off Notch Filter.
• The notch filter can only be switched on or off when ECG Filter is set to Diagnostic. In other filter
modes, the notch filter is always on.
11.6.5 Disabling the Smart Lead Off Function
The monitor provides the smart lead off function . When the lead of the first ECG wave is detached but another
lead is available, the monitor automatically switches to the available lead to recalculate heart rate, and to analyze
and detect arrhythmias. When you reconnect the detached leads, the monitor automatically switches back to
the original lead.
The smart lead off function is enabled by default. To disable this function, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG menu.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Switch off Smart Lead.
11.6.6 Disabling the CrozFusion
TM
Function
The CrozFusion
TM
function is enabled by default. However, in some situations you may need to disable this
function, or the CrozFusion
TM
function may not be able to work. You shall disable the CrozFusion
TM
function in
the following situation:
â– Administrating CPR
â– Performing CPB
â– Administrating IABP
â– Other situations that the CrozFusion
TM
function is not applicable
To disable the CrozFusion
TM
function, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG menu.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Switch off CrozFusion.
• The monitor is used for single patient at a time. Simultaneously monitoring more than one patient
may result in a hazard to the patient.
