22 Recovering Data

• The change back to a real-time recording from a trace recovery printout prompts the recording to
restart. A new vertical trace header annotation consisting of the time, date and paper speed is
printed, letting you see where the trace recovery printout ends, and where the real-time trace
continues.
• There can be a gap of up to 30 seconds between the trace recovery printout and the beginning of
the real-time trace.
Recovering Traces on an OB TraceVue System
The trace recovery data stored in the monitor's backup memory can also be uploaded at high speed to
an OB TraceVue system connected over the LAN interface (OB TraceVue Revision E.00.00 or later).
When the OB TraceVue system reconnects to the fetal monitor and detects that there is trace recovery
data in the monitor's backup memory that has not yet been transmitted to the system, this data is
transferred at high speed to the system. No user action is required.
The exact length of the recovered trace will vary depending on the amount of trace information, but
will cover
at least one hour of trace data, regardless of how many parameters are being measured.
To recover traces on an OB TraceVue system, the following applies:
•
The trace data in the monitor's internal memory must relate to a specific patient in the OB
TraceVue system. In other words, there were no discharge events made on the monitor that would
change the patient context.
• The patient must have an open episode. No data will be uploaded if the patient is not admitted to
OB TraceVue. For this reason, it is not possible to use the monitor to collect patient data offline
for later transmission to OB TraceVue.
• Current online trace data is held back until the fast upload is complete.
Recording Stored Data
When the recorder is not already running, you can choose to print trace data from the monitor's
memory at any time. You can see a list of all stored traces, showing patient identification and episode
time, in the
Stored Data Recording
window, from which you can choose one entry at a time.
CAUTION
So that you can identify which episode (entry in the patient list) refers to which patient, make sure that
you admit each patient by name, including other patient identification information, and discharge the
patient when you have finished monitoring.
A new episode can be triggered by:
•
Discharging a patient
• Powering on the monitor
• Entering Standby
• Entering Service Mode
Times when the monitor is switched off, is in Service Mode or in Standby are not included, neither are
any episodes lasting less than one minute.
