The Alarm Pause feature (if available on your transmitter) is honored at the
monitor.
You should not turn off the monitor until you have discharged the patient
from the monitor.
Second V lead data is not sent to the monitor from the transmitter. If you
wish to see telemetry second V lead data, you must view the telemetry
patient.
When switching ECG monitoring from the monitor to telemetry:
Arrhythmia alarm histories from the monitor are merged in the telemetry
system. CD Telemetry-LAN software version 5 or later is required.
If you discharge the monitor, the telemetry Arrhythmia Alarm Levels will be
the same as the Arrhythmia Alarm Levels supported by the monitor.
Therefore, when the monitor uses the BASIC software package, only lethal
Arrhythmia Alarm Levels will be detected from telemetry. If the monitor
has the CARDIAC software package, full Arrhythmia Alarm Levels will be
detected from telemetry.
When switching ECG monitoring from telemetry to the monitor:
Telemetry is automatically discharged and the most recent 36 alarm histories
are transferred to the monitor.
The ECG limits, Arrhythmia Alarm Levels and display defaults are recalled
from the monitor defaults.
NOTE
It is not likely that the Combo or Rover Combo monitoring modes are used when
the patient-monitor type is OPERATING ROOM.
NOTE
Users should be aware of a possible time discrepancy between the waveforms
from the telemetry device and the waveforms from the monitor. Users should not
consider these waveforms to be synchronous. If absolute synchronicity is desired,
Combo mode should be discontinued and the ECG waveforms should be
acquired via the hard-wired monitor.
NOTE
SpO
monitoring with an X-Pod does not occur in combo mode. If SpO
2
monitoring is required while in combo mode, the patient's SpO
attached to an SpO
device at the monitor.

For bedside monitors that allow the ECG parameter to be turned off, the following
constraints apply.
SpO
becomes the primary parameter for patient monitoring.
2
The patient's heart rate is determined from pulse oximetry.
The SpO
and SpO
Rate parameter alarm levels become Warning.

2
The SpO
pulse search and probe off system status alarm levels become

Warning.
Connecting the ECG cable to the monitor will not automatically turn the ECG
parameter on.
