Chapter 6 Managing Patients
6.1 Admitting a Patient
The monitor displays physiological data and stores it in the trends as soon as a patient is
connected. This allows you to monitor a patient who is not yet admitted. It is however important
to admit patients properly so that you can identify your patient on recordings, reports, and
networked devices.
During admission you enter data that the monitor needs for safe and accurate operation. For
example, the patient category setting determines the algorithm the monitor uses to process and
calculate some measurements, the safety limits that are applied for some measurements, and the
alarm limit ranges.
To admit a patient, please:
1. Select Menu > Patient Setup > New Patient, then a message is displayed to ask the user to
confirm to update patient.
2. Click on No to cancel this operation; click on Yes, the Patient Info window is displayed.
