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

Description of the Relearn function

Arrhythmia and ST relearn is an Arrhythmia Analysis function that causes the Acuity
system to relearn a patient’s normal ECG rhythm. The Acuity System uses the relearned
rhythm as a guideline to identify arrhythmia events (arrhythmia relearn) and to analyze
deviation of the ECG ST-segment offset (ST relearn).

If you want to establish a new ST reference beat without changing the normal ECG
rhythm used for arrhythmia analysis, initiate relearn in the ST Analysis Setup window.

When ST relearn occurs for a patient

Only ST reference beat learning occurs when ST RELEARN is clicked in the ST
Analysis Setup window.

ST relearn also occurs along with Arrhythmia relearn when certain buttons are clicked
in the Arrhythmia Alarms Setup window. For details, see

“Initiate relearn of a patient’s

ECG rhythm”

on page 63.

What occurs in a patient’s windows during and after ST RELEARN is clicked

ST Analysis Setup window: The waveform slice displays NO VALID BEATS, and the
Acuity System can take up to 30 seconds to update the waveform.

Most review windows and some printouts: Relearn and Learning Done event markers
(
