The hematocrit can be changed using the “Hematocrit (%)” button (refer to Figure 70). This
method allows the clinician to manually input the patient’s hematocrit using a measurement
obtained from a blood sample. The default hematocrit value is 30%.
NOTE: Patient ID must be entered for patient’s alarms to be displayed in the monitor’s alarm log.
