Pacemaker monitoring

3- and 5-lead cables for pacemaker patients

The following illustration shows the electrode placement with a 5-lead patient cable for
optimum results for patients with an implanted pacemaker.

With a 3-lead patient cable, only R, L and F are connected.

WARNING

Patients with a pacemaker must be observed continuously because

the heart rate from the pacemaker might still be registered in case of a cardiac
arrest or some arrhythmias. See specification

“Technical data”

on page 127 for

disclosure of the pacemaker pulse rejection capability of this monitor.

WARNING

Pacemaker monitoring is not possible with ECG cables that have un-

shielded lead wires. Ensure that only shielded lead wire ECG cables are used
when monitoring patients that have a pacemaker.

WARNING

Welch Allyn recommends using an SpO

2

sensor in addition to the

ECG measurement and to set the alarm range for the peripheral pulse (PP) in the
range of the heart rate (HR), or to set the HR source in the SpO

2

menu to SpO

2

(see

“SpO2 settings”

on page 70.)
