A patient is admitted or discharged in ADM/DIS window. It is
necessary to correctly specify the Patient Size since this adjusts the
monitoring defaults.
Figure 3-12: Admit/Discharge Window
NOTE: Patient Size can be also set in the ALARMS window. This is
the same setting and can be changed in either location.
NOTE: The Unit Label is for identification purposes when using
wireless or hardwire networks. Do not change the number unless
otherwise instructed to by the manufacturer.
Adult/Pediatric/Neonatal The monitor is designed to look at the patient size information
(Patient Size) selected in the ADM/DIS window and determine whether the monitor
should use the adult, pediatric, or neonatal alarm settings while
monitoring.
The patient mode is determined by patient size and is displayed in the
System Status Line, not with other patient data at the bottom of the
display screen. The patient size/mode is shown as Adult, Pediatric or
Neonate.
When the patient size is changed in the ADM/DIS window, the
monitor determines which window appears when the ALARMS
softkey is selected. By changing patient size, the user effectively
changes all the alarm limits for all the monitoring modules; SpO2,
ECG, NIBP, Temperature, and Respiration. The patient size setting
also adjusts the maximum NIBP pressure limit. For Adult and
Pediatric the limit is 300 mmHg. The limit for Neonate is 150 mmHg.
