6.1.1 Patient Category and Paced Status
The patient category setting determines the algorithm which the monitor uses to process and
calculate some measurements, the safety limits that are applied for some measurements, and the
alarm limit ranges.
The paced setting determines whether the monitor shows pacemaker pulses or not. When Pace is
set to Off, pace pulses are filtered and therefore do not show in the ECG wave.
WARNING
1 Changing the patient category may change the arrhythmia and NIBP alarm limits.
Always check alarm limits to make sure that they are appropriate for your patient.
2 For paced patients, you must set Paced to On. If it is incorrectly set to Off, the
monitor could mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to give an alarm during
asystole.
6.2 Quick Admit
If you do not have the time or information to fully admit a patient, you can use Quick Admit to
quickly admit a patient and complete the rest of the patient information later. To quickly admit a
patient, please:
1. Select the shortcut key on the screen directly, or
2. Select Menu > Patient Setup > Quick Admit, then a message is displayed to ask the user to
confirm to update patient.
3. Click on No to cancel this operation; click on Yes to continue and the Quick Admit window
is displayed.
4. Configure Type and Pace to the correct setting and click Yes to finish the quick patient
admission operation. If you want to quit the operation, click No.
6.3 Barcode Admit
Barcode scanner can recognize patient information directly and quickly, which can provide
convenience and reduce mistakes for users. User can scan the barcode through scanner or input
the barcode through keyboard, and then the patient information will be stored in monitor.
NOTE:
The start and end code should be set before using scanner to update patient, otherwise
the barcode can’t be recognized normally.
6.4 Editing Patient Information
To edit the patient information after a patient has been admitted, select Menu > Patient Setup >
Patient Info, and make the required changes on the popup interface.
