Each ST group corresponds to an alarm limit. Once there is a parameter exceeding
the alarm limit of the group to which the ST parameter belongs, the alarm will be
triggered and the name of the group will flash.
At the time of 12-lead monitoring, when you enter the large-font screen, the
parameter area will be displayed as shown below.

The heartbeat indicator is displayed and flashes at the frequency of the patient’s
heartbeat. To the right of the HR numeric are the status or numerics of PACE, 3
groups of ST, PVCs and NOTCH.
