DESCRIPTION
Alarm Status
If the monitor detects that one or more of a patient’s parameter values are violated, ALARM
will be displayed. If the patient’s parameter values are within the specified limits, the chosen
alarm reset mode, either AUTO RESET or MANUAL RESET, will be displayed. See
Select the
Alarm Reset Operation
in
Chapter 12: Service Menu
for details regarding auto or manual reset.
Bed and
Patient Names
You can choose which patient information to display: just the bed, the bed and the patient’s
name, or the bed and the patient ID. While specific patient identification information is
expected to change, the bed or room to which the monitor is assigned may remain the same.
Main Menu
The main menu provides a means of changing monitor settings, such as alarm limits and
parameter colors, and performing monitoring functions, such as NIBP calibration verification
and monitor suspension. There are several points of entry into the monitor’s menu system
including the main menu, parameter menus, and waveform menus.
Waveform
Up to four waveforms can be displayed simultaneously:
Waveform 1 is dedicated to the primary ECG lead, although you can specify which lead is
•
to be the primary.
Waveform 2 can be assigned to another ECG lead (in five-lead mode only), a cascade
•
(continuation) of the primary ECG lead waveform, or a waveform from any other enabled
parameter.
Waveform 3 can be changed to display a cascade (continuation) of the primary ECG lead
•
waveform after waveforms 1 and 2, or it can be a waveform from any other enabled
parameter.
Waveform 4 can be changed to display a cascade (continuation) of the primary ECG lead
•
waveform after waveforms 1, 2, and 3, or it can be a waveform from any other enabled
parameter.
Waveform
Label
The waveform label provides access to a menu for each waveform where you can adjust
various settings related to the waveform. For some parameters, such as ECG, the waveform
label displays information about the primary lead and the size of the ECG tracing.
Message Line The message line provides a brief description of the highlighted field or menu selection.
Date and Time The monitor’s real-time clock and calendar keep track of the time and date, even when the
monitor is turned off or is not connected to AC power. The time and date stamp is used for the
NIBP tabular trends and the displayed trends. The time display format is based on the 24-hour
clock. For example, 5:00 a.m. is displayed as 5:00 and 5:00 p.m. is displayed as 17:00.
