4.6. Monitoring System Memory
The monitoring system stores the following information about the current case in memory:
•
Case ID
•
Current baselines (value and time baselines were obtained)
•
Current sensor positions:
○
The monitoring system remembers the last sensors that were connected, the
locations they were assigned (for example, left cerebral), and their last baseline
values.
○
The monitoring system also remembers the last reusable sensor cable (RSC) and
preamplifier port assignments (for example, which RSC and preamplifier the left
cerebral sensor was connected to).
○
The previously used sensor location overrides the last RSC/preamplifier port
assignment. For example, if you plug what was the right cerebral sensor into what
was the left cerebral RSC/preamplifier port, it will show up on screen as the right
cerebral sensor.
Because the monitoring system retains this information for an ongoing case, you can
disconnect sensors from the system and reconnect the same sensors without having to
reassign sensor locations or perform the sensor set-up routine.
Table 8 describes some common situations, the actions you should perform, and how the
system reacts.
Table 8. System Memory - Common Situations and Recommended Actions
When this situation occurs... Perform this action...
You have started monitoring a patient
but notice that you have the sensor
locations swapped.
Navigate to the sensor Set-up screen (see Repositioning On-Screen Sensors,
page 47), drag and drop the sensors to the correct locations on the screen,
confirm the new locations, then press APPEND OLD DATA to resume monitor‐
ing.
Sensors need to be disconnected from
the monitoring system during a case
(for example, to reroute the cables).
Disconnect and reconnect the affected sensors. The monitoring system auto‐
matically assigns the sensors back to the proper locations.
The monitoring system is powered off
and back on during a case.
No action is necessary. The monitoring system automatically assigns sensors to
the proper location and resumes monitoring.
A case has ended. Unplug and discard all sensors that were used during the case. Dismiss the
“Sensor Not Connected” alarm. The monitoring system returns to the Set-up
screen.
4.7. Set Up for Patient Monitoring
The following steps assume you are ready to begin monitoring a patient in a surgical
setting or other hospital environment. Be sure you have reviewed the information in Safety
Reminders, page 37 before monitoring a patient.
