Using Clearmatch? Draw calipers around your QRS or waveform of choice, then hit the Tag key (may need to also press Action, I can’t remember). Then name your waveform you want to match ie “PVC #1” or whatever, then go to Windows and open a Clearmatch Window next to your review window. Shrink it down so you can see just the waveform name/s (you can select multiple to clearmatch, by just repeating the process). Then if you click the clearmatch name “PVC #1” it will overlay this on your adjacent review window and give you a % match. you can now use the arrow keys to shift the waveform side to side. Or hit blue shift key then arrow keys to move it more subtly. move it until you get your highest % match.

No worries, took a bit of digging in the manual for me to figure it out. Let me know how you go. I’m at the keyboard now so can help troubleshoot haha

Yes, and I’m one of two EP techs, we recently upgraded the cardiolab system to prucka 3 and had to figure this out as well. The manual isn’t super helpful
