To change wave forms for the second wave printed with a 50mm printer:
1. Press the Menu Select button.
2. Using the Navigation buttons, select the Printed Waves option and press Menu Select.
3. Using the Navigation buttons, select the wave form you want to print in Wave 2 and press Menu
Select.
To change wave forms for the second or third wave printed with a 75mm printer:
1. Press the Menu Select button.
2. Using the Navigation buttons, select the Printed Waves option and press Menu Select.
3. Using the Navigation buttons, select Wave 2 or Wave 3 and press Menu Select.
4. Using the Navigation buttons, select the wave form you want printed and press Menu Select.
5. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for the other printed wave.
Continued Use
MRx’s Continued Use feature facilitates continued treatment of the same patient by retaining current
settings and the patient record when the MRx is turned off for less than 10 seconds or switching
between modes (e.g., Monitor, AED, and Manual Defib).

– Clean and abrade the skin at each electrode site.
– Dry the electrode sites briskly to increase capillary blood flow in the tissues and to remove oil
and skin cells.
2. Attach the snaps to the electrodes.
3. Apply the electrodes.
4. If not pre-connected, connect the ECG patient cable to the MRx.

Lesson Presentation2 ECG and Arrhythmia Monitoring
Setting Alarms
• Alarms are automatically enabled in Monitor and Pacer Modes.
• In Manual Defib Mode, alarms are automatically enabled if the Sync function is enabled. If the Sync
function is not enabled, alarms are enabled using the Alarm Pause button.
• Alarms alert you when values exceed or fall below defined limits.
• Heart rate (HR) and VTACH alarm settings are as configured but may be changed during operation
for the current patient.
• The PVC rate limit setting may only be changed in response to a PVC rate alarm condition.
• Other HR and arrhythmia alarms may not be changed.
Changing Heart Rate or VTACH Alarm Limits
To change HR or VTACH limits:
1. Press the Menu Select button.
2. Select Measurements/Alarms and press Menu Select.
3. Select HR/Arrhythmia and press Menu Select.
4. Select HR Limits and press Menu Select.
5. Select new values and press Menu Select.
6. Select VTACH Limits and press Menu Select.
7. Select new values and press Menu Select.

To enable or disable HR and arrhythmia alarms:
1. Press Menu Select.
2. Select Measurements/Alarms and press Menu Select.
3. Select HR/Arrhythmia and press Menu Select.
4. Select Alarms On/Off and press Menu Select.
Note: Disabling alarms prevent all alarms associated with HR measurements from being annunciated.
If an alarm condition occurs, no alarm indication will be given.
Responding to HR and Arrhythmia Alarms

Lesson Presentation2 ECG and Arrhythmia Monitoring
Arrhythmia Learning/Relearning
MRx automatically performs arrhythmia learning/relearning when the lead or mode of operation is
changed so the ST/AR Algorithm can properly analyze the patient’s normal and/or paced complexes.
Initiate manual relearning if beat detection is not occurring or if beat classification is incorrect and
results in a false alarm. To initiate relearning manually:
1. Press Menu Select.
2. Select Measurements/Alarms and press Menu Select.
Please answer the following questions related to ECG and arrhythmia monitoring.

• Two channels of real-time continuous invasive pressure measurements and waveforms are available
in Monitor, Manual Defib and Pacer Modes.
• Systolic, diastolic and mean pressure values display for pulsatile pressure signals and mean value for
non-pulsatile pressure signals.
Pressure Measurement Set-up
To set up medical equipment to display a pressure measurement on the MRx:
1. Turn the HeartStart MRx to Monitor.
2. Connect the pressure cable to the MRx.
3. Connect the pressure cable to the transducer.
4. Prepare the flush solution.
5. Flush the system to expel air from the tubing. Make sure the stopcocks and transducer are also free
of air bubbles.
6. Connect the pressure line to the patient catheter.
7. If you are using an infusion pressure cuff with the pressure line, attach the pressure cuff to the fluid
to be infused. Inflate it according to your hospital’s standard procedure and then begin the
infusion. Position the transducer so that it is level with the heart, approximately at the level of the
midaxillary line.
6. Verify and change the size of your scale, as appropriate.
7. Verify and change the alarm source type, as appropriate.
8. Set the high and low alarm limits.
Pressure Waves
To select a pressure wave and the associated scale for the display or printed strip:
1. Press the Menu Select button.
2. Using the Navigation buttons, highlight Displayed Waves and press Menu Select.
3. Select Wave Position (Wave 1 , Wave 2 , Wa ve 3 or Wave 4) and press Menu Select.
4. Select the appropriate wave and press Menu Select.
5. Select the appropriate scale and press Menu Select.
Practice Exercise 1
Attach a simulator (e.g., Dale14 multiparameter simulator) and pressure cable(s) to the MRx, select
different pressure waves and associated scales, and display and print out the results, as appropriate.
Questions
1. How does the display (or printout) differ from one pressure wave to another? From Wave 1 menu?
2. What wave scale(s) provide the clearest wave form?
3. How would you assign a specific label to pressure channel 1 if it is already assigned to channel 2?
To change the temperature alarm limits for the current incident:
1. Press the Menu Select button.
2. Using the Navigation buttons, select Measurements/Alarms and press Menu Select.
3. Select the temperature label option currently assigned to your measurement and press Menu Select.
4. Select Temperature Limits and press Menu Select.
5. Using the Navigation buttons, change the high limit and press Menu Select.
6. Using the Navigation buttons, change the low limit and press Menu Select.
Disabling/Enabling Alarms
To disable/enable temperature alarms:
1. Press the Menu Select button.
2. Using the Navigation buttons, select the Measurements/Alarms menu and press Menu Select.
3. Select the temperature label option currently assigned to your measurement and press Menu Select.
4. Select Alarms Off/Alarms On and press Menu Select.
Disabling Temperature Monitoring
To disable the Temperature monitoring:
• Disconnect the temperature cable from the MRx Temperature port. The message Temp (or the label
currently activated) Unplugged. Turn Off Temp (or the label currently activated)? appears. Select Ye s
and press the Menu Select button.
• Should the temperature cable get disconnected accidentally or if the probe and cable separate, and
you want to continue monitoring temperature, select No and press Menu Select. Reconnect the
temperature cable to restart the temperature monitoring function.
Practice Exercise 1
Change temperature alarm limits, and disable/enable and respond to related alarms.
