Heart Rate Response to Irregular Rhythm: (AAMI EC13-2002, section 4.1.2.1.e.)
Ventricular Bigeminy: 80 BPM (expected)
Slow Alternating Ventricular Bigeminy: 60 BPM (expected)
Rapid Alternating Ventricular Bigeminy: 120 BPM (expected)
Bidirectional Systole: 45 BPM (expected)
Tachycardia Response Time:
Response time to tachycardia alarm is on average 3.4 seconds per AAMI EC-13-2002,
section 4.1.2.1.g, and IEC 60601-2-27, clause 6.8.2.bb.7. Response times include a 1.0
second display update interval.
Pacemaker Pulse Rejection:
(In accordance with AAMI EC13:2002, section 4.1.4 and IEC 60601-2-27:2005, subclause
50.103.13)
•
Pulses without overshoot: Rejects all pulses with amplitude of +2 mV to +700 mV and
duration of 0.1 ms to 2 ms, with no tail.
•
Pulses with overshoot: Rejects all pulses with amplitude of +2 mV to +700 mV and duration
of 0.1 ms to 2 ms, with overshoot up to 100 ms.
•
A-V sequential pulses: A-V sequential pacemaker pulses may not be rejected.
•
Fast ECG signals: Approximately 50% of ECG input pulses with a slew rate of 3 V/s RTI
may trigger the pacemaker pulse detector.
Electrosurgery Protection: The Propaq MD is suitable for use in the presence of
electrosurgery as specified in IEC 60601-2-27. Burn hazard protection via a 1K current limiting
resistor contained in each ECG leadwire.
