Printing summary statistics for one or more patients
You can print a statistical summary of each record stored in the monitor. Trends for
the most recent patient are printed first.
1. After monitoring one or more patients, unplug the sensor from the monitor.
NOTE: Press the Alarm Silence button to silence alarms.
2. Connect the printer.
3. To start printing, use the ComWheel to move the pointer to the print
symbol, then press the ComWheel. Repeat to stop printing.
The print symbol is displayed during printing.
Important: The monitor calculates the data before printing begins. When printing
a long record for a single patient, printing will be delayed approximately
1 minute for every 24 hours of data. The monitor may appear to be inactive,
however, printing will begin when the calculation is completed.
