Modes
The 250cx Series Monitor has three recorder modes: off, on, and maternal-only.
Factory default is ON.
Off Mode
When the recorder is off, the yellow Record indicator is off and nothing is
automatically printed on the strip chart paper.
Even with the recorder turned off, it is possible to manually print the displayed
waveform or the maternal vital signs history. Selecting the Print or PrintAll softkey
places the recorder into a special high-speed printing mode. After the information is
printed, the recorder turns off again. Refer to Chapter 12, “Maternal Vital Signs
History” and Chapter 14, “Waveforms”, for more information.
On Mode
When the recorder is on, the yellow Record indicator continuously illuminates and
the recorder runs at the selected speed of 1, 2, or 3 cm/min.
Maternal-Only Mode
What is the Maternal-Only Mode?
The maternal-only printing mode sets the recorder to a standby mode—turning the
recorder on and off as needed to print information, such as:
maternal non-invasive blood pressure;
maternal pulse oximetry; and
notes from a Model 2116B Clinical-Notes/Data-Entry System.
When the recorder is in the maternal-only mode, the yellow Record indicator flashes
approximately every 5 seconds.
Printing Style
Information printed using the maternal-only mode prints vertically across the page.
Figure on page 11-4 provides an example of a maternal-only mode printout.
