Creating a Patient Record
The Heartstream XL creates an Event Summary patient record for each new
patient. Each record is assigned a unique incident number. The Heartstream
XL keeps the Event Summary in its internal memory until you begin caring
for a new patient. It assumes the following:
7DEOH3RZHU6WDWXVDQG3DWLHQW5HFRUGV
If the Heartstream XL is off for more than two minutes and turned on with no
new event the data is saved.
The Continued Use feature allows you to change batteries or shut the Heart-
stream XL off briefly (for 2 minutes or less), while preserving the current
patient record. Events recorded after the power interruption are appended to
the patient record. Continued use also preserves alarm settings.
If: Then:
Power is off for more than 2 minutes
and a new event is recorded
The Heartstream XL assumes you are
caring for a new patient. The last inter-
nal Event Summary is deleted; a new
Event Summary is started and a new
incident record is created
Power is off less than 2 minutes The Heartstream XL assumes you are
continuing to care for the same patient.
Additional events are appended to the
Event Summary; the annotation "Con-
tinued Use" is printed on the Event
Summary, provided it wasn’t printed
prior to turning the Heartstream XL off
and/or patient contact was never made.
