2042480-001 C Dash 2500 Patient Monitor 3-9
Using the Dash 2500 Patient Monitor: Screen
Waveform and Vital Signs Priority
Waveforms and vital signs appear on the screen in order of priority. Where they
appear depends on which parameters are active and their respective priority.
Parameters are prioritized based on their order of importance for the particular
type of patient being monitored. Waveforms appear in the waveform area in the
following order, from top to bottom: ECG, SpO
2
, and RESP.
NOTES
In the vital signs field, the HR/Pulse parameter always appears at the top.
In the waveform field, the ECG lead (if on-line) always appears at the top.
Waveforms for other parameters appear if the View waveform? option is
set to yes and space is available in the waveform field.
Waveform Sweep Speed
There are three sweep speeds for each cardiac or respiratory waveform. Any
change to a cardiac-based sweep speed will affect all cardiac waveforms,
unless ECG has the Fixed ECG sweep speed option (under Config setting menu)
is set to yes. Respiratory waveforms are affected in the same manner.
* Only applies to screens without a menu.
