DMISSION, TRANSFER, AND DISCHARGE
Synchronizing the Monitors
To provide a complete and successful transfer of information, you must check that the
date and time of the source and destination monitors are identical. Trend data that is
copied from the source monitor 24 hours before or five minutes after the destination
monitor time is transferred without interruption. If you attempt to transfer data that
falls outside this time window, a banner appears requesting you to confirm the
transfer.
Network Data Transfer
To transfer data over the network, you must interrupt patient monitoring temporarily
by putting the source monitor in standby mode. The monitor saves both patient and
monitor settings until you exit standby and resume monitoring the same patient. To
transfer data over the network:
