
and CP 200

Lead Quality Feedback
CP 100, CP 200
Lead quality messages, which appear on various screens, now include both lead-off and
artifact information.
For good quality recordings, leads must be connected and artifact free. If you print an
Auto ECG despite lead-off or artifact conditions (by overriding the “Waiting for 10 seconds
of quality data” message), the report reflects those conditions. In the case of lead-off
signals, the report shows square waves. In the case of artifact, the report might include a
warning to use the interpretation (if any) with caution.
To eliminate artifact, you might need to re-prep the patient, use fresh electrodes, or
minimize patient motion during the recording.
For additional feedback on lead quality, you can now enable an artifact report. This report,
a 12x1 format with all filters disabled, shows the leads with artifact so that you can
remedy the problem. (The normal Auto ECG report with filters enabled might mask some
of the artifact issues.) When enabled, the artifact report prints automatically with the Auto
ECG report whenever artifact is detected and you override the “Waiting for 10 seconds of
quality data” message.
To enable the artifact report, press the Menu key . Choose ECG Settings >
Auto Report Settings > Artifact Report > On.
Heart Rate
CP 100, CP 200
A four-beat average heart rate (HR) now appears in real time on the screen.
Body Mass Index
CP 100, CP 200
The patient’s body mass index (BMI) now appears on the Enter New Patient screen and
on ECG and spirometry reports when height and weight are entered.
