Chart-Style Printing Examples
When chart-style printing is enabled:
The 15-minute interval prints on the quarter hour (e.g.,
9:00, 9:15, 9:30, 9:45,
etc.).
The 30-minute interval prints on the half hour (e.g., 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, etc.).
The 60-minute interval prints on the hour (e.g., 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, etc.).
The following are examples of chart-style printing:
NIBP Example 1: The automatic blood pressure mode is activated at 9:03, with
the interval time set to 15 minutes. Whereas the first real-time reading would
occur at 9:18, the first chart-style reading is taken at 9:15. Subsequent readings
are taken and printed at 9:30, 9:45, 10:00, 10:15, etc.
NIBP Example 2: The automatic blood pressure mode is activated at 9:17, with
the interval time set to 30 minutes. Whereas the first real-time reading would
occur at 9:47, the first chart-style reading is taken at 9:30. Subsequent readings
are taken and printed at 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30, etc.
MSpO2 Example 1: The MSpO2 print interval time is set to 30 minutes and the
sensor is connected at 9:24 a.m. Whereas the first real-time printing would
occur at 9:54, the first chart-style printing is done at 9:30. Subsequent values
are printed at 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30, etc.
MSpO2 Example 2: The MSpO2 print interval time is set to 60 minutes and the
sensor is connected at 9:42 a.m. Whereas the first real-time printing would
occur at 10:42, the first chart-style printing is done at 10:00. Subsequent values
are printed at 11:00, 12:00, 1:00, 2:00, etc.
Real-Time Printing Example
When chart-style printing is disabled, standard real-time printing occurs.
NIBP Example: The automatic blood pressure mode is activated at 9:03, with
the interval time set to 15 minutes. The first reading occurs at 9:18. Subsequent
readings are taken at 9:33, 9:48, 10:03, etc.
MSpO2 Example: The print interval is set to 15 minutes and the first acceptable
pulse signal is detected at 9:05 a.m. The first printing occurs at 9:05.
Subsequent MSpO
2 values are printed at 9:20, 9:35. 9:50, 10:05, etc.
Chart-Style 7-Minute Exception for NIBP
If you take a manual blood pressure reading within 7 minutes of a chart-style
interval (15, 30, or 60 minutes) and then activate automatic blood pressure readings
using a chart-style interval, the first automatic reading will be skipped.
This rule only applies to the first reading when chart-style vital signs printing is
enabled on the password-protected Install Options service screen.
Example: You take a manual blood pressure reading at 7:10. At 7:13 you then
activate automatic blood pressure readings using a 15-minute time interval. The
7:15 chart-style reading is skipped since a manual reading occurred 5-minutes
earlier. The first automatic reading is taken at 7:30. Since the rule applies only
to the first reading, if you take another manual reading at 7:40, the 7:45
automatic reading occurs as scheduled.
