Step 5: Priority Patients
In this Step, the procedure for adding, removing, and filtering Priority Patients is discussed. The Priority
Patients option allows the user to filter the list of available RS Devices so that priority patients are
shown at the top of the list.
To toggle Priority status:
1.
Scroll dashboard to find required patient ID.
2.
Add patient to priority list by pressing the Priority Pin Button. The button will change to a black
icon.
3.
Remove patient from priority list by pressing the Priority Pin Button. The button will change
to a white icon.
Step 6: Obtaining Detailed Respiratory Rate Measurements
In this Step, the procedure to retrieve RR details from a RS Device in operation is discussed. The RS
Device is interrogated by requesting data from the Lobe using its unique identifier
–
typically the
patient MRN. If requested, up to 96 hours of historical data from the patient can be displayed. To
obtain the respiratory rate measurements of the patient dependant on averaging time:
1.
Open RS App.
2.
Scan for patient by using one of three methods:
a)
Patient ID visible on Dashboard: Tap on Patient ID.
b)
MRN Available: Select the Camera icon on the Dashboard and scan the MRN barcode
of the patient using the camera interface provided.
c)
MRN Not Available: Select the Camera icon on the Dashboard and select the Manual
Input Icon. Enter patient identifier using the provided onscreen keyboard.
3.
Confirm successful connection:
●
Lobe LED will blink Blue 3 times (presence of alarm overrides this LED state).
●
Lobe will emit two consecutive connection beeps.
4.
Manually record the respiratory rate information in the patient’s Vital sign medical record or
in accordance with hospital, administration, and/or local government laws.
CAUTION
The hand-held device does not record or centralise any clinical information for the
purpose of retaining patient records. Historical information is stored on the Lobe for
the purpose of reference. Data is deleted once the Lobe is placed on charger base.
Note
This is an average rate that is measured over 2-, 5- or 15-minute intervals. The
interval size can be selected by the user.
5.
Select Show Graph on the results screen. Four options are displayed for viewing historical
respiratory rate measurements:
●
4 hours.
●
12 hours.
●
24 hours.
●
All
–
displays all available data points (minimum 1 hour).
6.
Select the appropriate option. The relevant measurements are displayed.
7.
If another patient is to be scanned, use the back button to return to the Dashboard view.
