Run the ECG screening tests on the Screening tab.
1. Select the Sternal Lead Position by clicking the pull-down
menu (defaults to the most common placement – Left Sternal
Margin; other options are Right Sternal Margin and Medial).
The Sternal Lead Position represents the planned location of
the vertical portion of the S-ICD implanted electrode.
2. Run Supine posture (required) - Put the patient into a supine
posture and click the corresponding Run
ECG screening test. Results are displayed when the test is
complete.
3. Run Standing/Sitting posture (required) - Have the patient
assume either a standing or sitting posture and click the
corresponding Run
4. Run Other postures or conditions (optional) - Click the Run
button associated with an Other column to add patient-specific
postures or conditions, as needed. Click the text field to add
posture or condition descriptions.
5. Click the magnifying glass
access the Snapshot screen and review the details of each test.
Each ECG signal should have a stable baseline and be free of
noise and motion artifacts.
NOTE: It is possible to repeat a test. A clinician might want to
repeat a test if the test result is FAIL but a review of the ECGs
reveals a disruption in the signal from a noise source, patient
movement, or intermittent issue with the connection to the
surface leads. To repeat a test, simply click the Run
for the desired posture again, then observe the results.
NOTE: If testing more than 6 postures or conditions, save the
report and start a new session. The user interface only provides
6 columns for postures or conditions for a single session.
NOTE: The Advanced View option on the Snapshot screen
adds the filtered surface ECG data used by the AST. Your local
Boston Scientific representative or Technical Services may assist
in using this view to further understand the AST results. Printing
is disabled in this view.
