Change Parameters
1 Touch outside the globe of a displayed parameter to
change it to a different parameter.
2 A popup screen will show the selected parameter
highlighted in color and other parameters currently being
displayed outlined in color. Available parameters appear
on the screen without highlights.
3 Touch an available parameter to select the replacement
parameter.
Change Alarm/Target
The Alarm Target screen lets the user view and set up alarm
and target values for the selected parameter or enable/disable
the audible alarm and target settings. Additionally, the target
settings can be adjusted with a numbered key pad or with the
scroll buttons when a minor adjustment is needed. This popup
screen is accessed by touching anywhere inside a monitored
parameter globe or through the parameter settings screen. For
more information, see “Alarms / Targets” on page 6-5.
 There is a two minute inactivity timer associated with the
popup screen.
Graphical Trend Monitoring View
The graphical trend screen displays the current status and
history of monitored parameters and the continuous, real-
time arterial (ART) waveform when selected. The amount of
history shown for monitored parameters can be configured by
adjusting the time scale.
When the target range for the parameter is enabled, the graph
color codes the plot line, green indicating within the target
range, yellow indicating the value is outside the target range
but within the physiological alarm range, and red indicating
the value is outside the alarm range. When the target range is
disabled for the parameter the plot line is white. The colors
match those of the clinical target indicator (lantern) on the
key parameter globes in the graphical trend graph when
targets are enabled for the parameter. The Alarm Limits for
each parameter are displayed as colored arrows on the graph
scales.
To change the time scale of a displayed parameter, touch
outside of the plot area along the x or y-axis, and a scale
popup menu will appear. Touch the value side of the
Graphical Trend Time button to select a different time
period.
Arterial Waveform (ART) Display
To display the real-time blood pressure
waveform, touch the Display Arterial
Waveform button. An arterial waveform graph panel will be
displayed above the first monitored parameter graph.
A numeric reading of the beat to beat Systolic, Diastolic and
Mean Arterial Pressure will be displayed above the first
monitored parameter globe. Regular interruptions to the ART
display occur for one or more heart beats to perform
Physiocal, the automatic calibration of the arterial waveform.
See “Physiocal Method” on page 7-1 and “Physiocal
Control” on page 7-10.
To change the sweep speed (x-axis scale) of the graph, touch
the scale area and a popup menu will appear to allow input of
a new sweep speed.
To stop display of blood pressure waveform,
touch the Hide Arterial Waveform button.
