In Barcode and Manual Charting modes, the body area selected will appear next down.
In Training mode, this is blank.
Next, below are indicators of the number of scans taken. Circles indicate a scan not yet
performed, whereas the dot indicates that a scan has occurred. For the sacrum body area,
six circles are initially shown. For the heels, four circles are initially shown. In Training mode,
no circles are initially shown and as measurements are made, dots will indicate how many.
After
nine (9) measurements, any subsequent measurement will be shown with a “plus” (+) sign,
indicating that more than nine measurements have been completed.
The large circle on the left image (
) is the SEM∆.
Initially, this will display as “
-.-
“.
The SEM∆
will display once three or more measurements have been completed.
SEM
less than 0.6 have a
green
colour.
SEM∆ equal to or greater than 0.6 will be coloured
orange
to indicate the detection of deep and early-stage pressure-induced injury/ulcer.
The smaller circle on the right image ( ) displays the current SEM value measurement.
This measurement may be deleted by touching the Delete icon ( ). You will then see the
number of measurements circles/dots change accordingly.
