Data Transfer
You can transfer patient data between monitors in the following
ways:
! By sending data to a different monitor over the Infinity net-
work.
! By copying data onto a memory card and then loading it into
a different monitor (stand-alone option).
The transfer of patient data involves a source monitor and a desti-
nation monitor. The source monitor is the unit from which the
data is transferred. The destination monitor is the unit receiving
the data. Transferred patient data includes the patient’s name, ID,
admit date, patient category, as well as stored trends.
NOTES:
! When a data transfer takes place between two monitors whose
selected units of measure do not match (i.e.°C/°F, mmHg/kPa,
mm/mV), the destination monitor adopts the units of measure
that were selected at the source monitor.
! When a data transfer takes place between two monitors with
different enabled software options, the destination monitor
accepts data only for those options which are enabled at the
destination monitor (i.e. ST, etCO
2
), and ignores the rest.
! If the Respiration or the etCO
2
waveform was displayed at the
source monitor, but the same waveform is not selected for dis-
play at the destination monitor (see selection Show Rsp/Show
etCO
2
in the Respiration chapter), then the data for this param-
eter cannot be accepted by the destination monitor. To transfer
this data, first select the desired waveform display (Rsp or
etCO
2
) at the destination monitor.
! For data transfer between Gamma Series monitors, lead V+
will be transferred only if both the source and the destination
monitors are using a 6-lead ECG cable. Use of a smaller lead
set cable will only transfer data corresponding to the smaller
lead set. The remaining data will be lost.
! Stored events cannot be transferred.
