Using Patient Cases and Patient ID Numbers
44 Portable Bedside Capnograph/Pulse Oximeter

Pediatric 3-6 yrs: for patients aged three to six years

Pediatric 6-12 yrs: for patients aged six to twelve years.

Adult: for patients aged 12 years and up
The patient type is displayed at the top left hand corner of the screen. Setting the patient type is compulsory.
The original default patient type on the monitor is ADULT; once the patient type has been changed, the default
will be the current patient type.
CAUTION: The characteristics of a breath are calculated differently for the different patient types.
Setting the correct patient type is therefore very important. Incorrect setting will result in
inaccurate monitoring of the patient's respiration and affect the patient’s IPI value.

T
O CHANGE THE PATIENT TYPE
:
1. If the patient type that appears on the screen is correct for the current patient, there is no need to make any
change to the patient type. If you want to make a change, use the control knob to select the
PATIENT TYPE
function on the menu bar of the Home screen.
2. Rotate the control knob to change the patient type, and press the control knob to register the change. This
change will remain in effect until the patient type is changed.
The monitor has independent alarm limit settings for Adult/Pediatric and Infant/Neonatal Patients which can be
configured according to the physiology observed in the particular age groups. See the relevant information in
Changing Alarm Limits on page 70 .
Using Patient Cases and Patient ID Numbers
It is strongly recommended that you associate all data stored in the monitor with a patient ID that will identify
its origin with a particular patient. This allows stored trend data to be associated with a patient ID, and avoids
the possibility of confusing data from several patients in one trend printout or download.

T
O BEGIN A NEW CASE
:
1. Once the patient is already connected to the monitor, press the Patient Admit/Discharge button on the
front panel of the monitor. The PATIENT ID field appears on the screen, and an automatically generated
14-digit ID number will appear in the ID field:
PATIENT ID 20101209072645
2. This automatically generated ID indicates the start date and time of the case session (format
YYYYMMDDhhmmss, indicating year, month, day, hour, minute and second of the session start). To use
the automatically generated ID number, use the control knob to select
START CASE
and click the
START
CASE button to begin the case.
3. To change the ID number, if desired, turn the control knob to highlight
PATIENT ID
in blue on the screen
and click the control knob. Use the control knob to enter a new alphanumeric Patient ID by rotating and
pressing the control knob to select letters and numbers. If you wish to enter a space, turn the knob until you
see an empty square instead of a letter or numeral, and click to enter a space. You will note that the space
you are currently filling is highlighted in yellow. The maximum permitted length for the Patient ID is
20 characters. Select the

Enter symbol to finish. See the section Screen Navigation on page 37 for
instructions on how to enter letters and numbers.
4. If you want to change the patient type for this patient, you may do so from this screen, using the control knob
to select and change the patient type.
5. Use the control knob to select
START CASE
.
Note: Once the START CASE button is pressed, the case has begun, and that button now becomes STOP
CASE .
Note: A new case cannot begin until the previous case has been stopped with the STOP CASE button.
