Event Groups
The event group
monitors the patient’s signals to detect event triggers
defines which waveforms are recorded in the event data.
In basic event surveillance only one event group can be active at a time, with Advanced Event
Surveillance all six groups can be active simultaneously. Active event groups monitor for event triggers.
Event groups are defined in Configuration Mode. In monitoring mode the groups can be adapted to
current conditions, for example episode types and threshold levels can be changed .
Event Episodes
When an event occurs, information for a
predefined duration is stored. This is the
event episode. It includes information
from a defined period before the trigger,
called the event pre-time. The episode
time after the event is called the event
post-time. If a further event occurs during
the event post-time it changes a single
event to a combined event (combi-event).
Manually-triggered event episodes
document patient information from the
time leading up to the event trigger; they
do not have a post-time.
