Chapter 6 Patient Management
6.1 Admitting a Patient
The monitor displays physiological data and stores it in the trends as soon as
a patient is connected. This lets you monitor a patient who is not yet admitted.
However, it is very important to admit patients properly. If a patient is admitted
in the monitor, it is advised to discharge the current patient before admitting a
new patient. Or else, the data of next patient will be stored in the current
patient’s data.
To admit a patient,
1. Select【Patient Manage.】smartkey→【Admit Patient】,and then select【Yes】
to discharge the current patient and admit a new patient. The patient info
window will be popped up.

patient info area on the screen when choosing【Yes】, if not, will be
