ST Analysis option

The Acuity System ST Analysis option analyzes the ST segment of current ECG beats
relative to the ST segment of a reference beat. Specifically, the system reports mm or mV
of deviation between the current beat’s ST-segment offset and the reference beat’s
ST-segment offset.

The system learns the reference beats when a learning or relearn function occurs. For a
listing of when learning or relearn functions occur, see

“When ST relearn occurs for a

patient”

on page 75.

In the ST Analysis Setup window, you can do the following things:

Specify analysis preferences.

Set alarm limits.

Set ST alarming priority level.

Set Print on Alarm.

View current beats and reference beats.

View current deviation values, including alarm values.

Initiate relearn of a patient’s reference beats for ST analysis only.

ST analysis is not performed in these circumstances:

If Analyze Pacers is set on in the patient’s Arrhythmia Alarms Setup window.

If the patient monitor is set in neonate mode.

During the occurrence of arrhythmia events.
