Arrhythmia detection for WatchPAT HST devices
WatchPAT HST devices can identify arrhythmia events (atrial fibrillation premature beats) during a sleep study. Administrators can enable arrhythmia detection by facility. All sleep studies initialized after enabling this feature include the Cardiac Rhythm Analysis section in the WatchPAT report. The raw data is also available in the pulse rate channel, which is part of the WatchPAT montage.
Important
The Detect arrhythmia feature is only compatible with WatchPAT interface version 5.3.82.5 and later.
For optimal performance, ensure SDI version 8.23.11.3 or later is installed.
