Chapter 11 Monitoring PR
11.1 Overview
The pulse numeric counts the arterial pulsations that result from the mechanical activity of the
heart in beats per minute (bpm). You can display a pulse from any measured SpO
2
signal or any
arterial pressure.
11.2 Setting PR Source
The monitor provides PR sources options, but currently only SpO
2
is supported. If the parameter
as PR source is switched off, the monitor will switch based on priority. If all parameters
producing SpO
2
are switched off, the PR parameter will be switched off.
11.3 Setting PR Volume
Six selections are available: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. 5 indicates the maximum volume. 0 indicates no
sound. You can change PR Volume in the PR Setup menu.
11.4 Using Pulse Alarms
You can change pulse rate alarm limits in the PR Setup menu by selecting Alarm Setup. Pulse
alarms are only generated when the active alarm source is set to PR, a pulse source is set as
system pulse and pulse alarms are switched on.
11.5 Selecting the Active Alarm Source
In most cases, the HR and Pulse numerics are identical. In order to avoid simultaneous alarms on
HR and Pulse, the monitor uses either ECG or Pulse as its active alarm source. To change the
alarm source, select Alarm Source in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu, then select
HR: if you want HR to be the alarm source for HR/Pulse.
PR: if you select Pulse as the active alarm source, the monitor will prompt you to confirm
your choice. Be aware that if you select Pulse as the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG
HR alarms are switched off.
AUTO: if the Alarm Source is set to Auto, the monitor will use the heart rate from the ECG
measurement as the alarm source whenever the ECG measurement is switched on and at least
one ECG lead can be measured without an technical alarm condition.The monitor will
automatically switch to Pulse as the alarm source.
