Abstract
A medical device system including a physiological sensor is configured to perform a method for detecting signal artifact in a signal waveform acquired by the sensor. A signal waveform is sensed in a patient using the physiological sensor and a fiducial point associated with the sensed waveform is identified. A point value is established using the fiducial point. Signal artifact is detected in response to the established point value and an established threshold, and at least a portion of the signal waveform is rejected in response to detecting signal artifact.
