PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform easy setting without mistakes on a rhythm measurement inspection.SOLUTION: An electrocardiograph 10 having a plurality of inspection modes including a rhythm measurement inspection mode for measuring intervals between R waves includes a triangular electrode detection part 101 for detecting the attachment/detachment of a triangular electrode, an inspection mode switching part 103 for switching a present inspection mode to a rhythm measurement inspection mode in response to the detection of the attachment of the triangular electrode, and a filter setting part 102 for performing the setting so that a drift filter is operated in response to the detection of the attachment of the triangular electrode.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】リズム計測検査に関し、簡便かつ間違いのない設定を行なう。【解決手段】R波どうしの間隔を測定するリズム計測検査モードを含む複数の検査モードを有する心電計10であって、三角電極の着脱を検知する三角電極検知部101と、三角電極の装着が検知されたことを受けて現在の検査モードをリズム計測検査モードに切り替える検査モード切替部103と、三角電極の装着が検知されたことを受けてドリフトフィルタを作用させるように設定するフィルタ設定部102とを備えた。【選択図】図2
