6.1 Admitting Patient
Once a patient is connected with the monitor, even if no patient is admitted, the monitor can also display and
store the physiological data of the patient. But it is of great importance to correctly admitthe patient.
To admit a patient:
1.
Click patient information area or click [PAT MANAGE] on-screen key and the [PATIENT MANAGE]
menu will displayed.
2.
If a patient has been admitted, please click [DISCHARGE] to discharge the patient;
3.
If no patient is admitted, please enter the patient information in detail, especially for the pacemaker
status. If you set the item [PACE] to [ON], when pacemaker signal is detected, the symbol
will
appear above the ECG waveform and the icon
will appear in the ECG parameter area. If the item
[PACE] is set to [Off], you will see the icon
in the ECG parameter area.
4.
Click [ADMIT] and a dislogbox “Will erase previous patient’s hist data! ADMIT?” will be
displayed.Select [Yes] to admit the patient, and the [ADMIT] item turns to [DISCHARGE]; select [No],
the patient will not be admitted.
Warning
When change the patient type or admit a new patient, the monitor will restore to the alarm
settings of that patient type set previously. Therefore, the users should check whether the
alarm settings are suitable for the patient prior to monitoring.
For patients without pacemaker, you should set [PACE] to [OFF]; otherwise, the system
cannot detect arrhythmias associated with ventricular premature beats (including PVCs
count)as well as perform ST segment analysis.
For patients with pacemaker, you should set [PACE] to [ON]; otherwise, pacing pulse may be
counted into normal QRS waves, causing the alarm “ECG signal is too weak” cannot be
detected.
Attention
If the patient information is wrong, it will be impossible to print the correct basic
information and auto scoring information. Discharge the patient before admitting a new
patient, or the monitor will auto take the previous patient as the current patient.
After discharging the patient, the [PACE] defaults to [OFF].
