3.6.2 Printing Stored Data
Stored case data can be transferred via a removable drive to a personal computer for viewing
or printing. (For information on printing Snapshot data, see section 3.5.13 “Print
(Snapshot).”)
To create a PDF of the currently displayed case data,
1. Attach a removable drive to the USB-A port.
2. Press the print icon touch key located in the upper right corner of the BIS Trend
graph (see Figure 32). A set of printable PDF files is created for the currently
displayed case and sent to the USB drive.
3. A Print icon appears below the BIS number while the data transfer is in process. (See
Section 3.3.7.3 “Print Icon.”)
4. When the message “PDF creation completed” appears (or the Print icon disappears
from the screen), the drive may be removed from the back of the monitor.
Each PDF file contains up to 6 pages, with each page displaying 1 hour of trend data. The
data include: the date, case ID number, case start and end time, the BIS trend graph, and a
chart displaying the BIS value, SQI and EMG at one-minute time intervals. If the case was
longer than 6 hours, an additional file is created in the same directory.
The name of each file begins with “BIS” and is followed by: the case ID number, the date of
the earliest stored data for this case, and the page range. For example, the file name
BIS_AH5F_20070118_pgs1-6.pdf is a file of BIS data from case # AH5F, which started on
January 18, 2007 and consists of 6 pages of data.
Files for a particular case are stored in a folder. The folder name starts with ‘BIS’ followed
by the case ID number and the two-digit day and month, four-digit year, and two-digit hour,
minute and second that the PDF creation was started. For example, the folder BIS_AH5F –
18012007112722 includes all of the files relating to case ID #AH5F, and the data for that
case was printed on January 18, 2007 at 11:27:22.
