Operations Patient Setup
5.3 Patient Setup
NOTE: Discharge button was renamed End Case in software bundle version
02.06.00 and later.
5.3.1 End Case / Standby Mode
The End Case button is located in the Manual tab (see FIGURE 5-2). The End Case button can be
selected only when the Auto/Manual ventilation switch is set to Manual, and when all gas flows
are turned off.
FIGURE 5-2 End Case Button
Ending the case changes the current patient size to the default patient size and loads the user
defaults for the system; clears the patient demographics; clears the User Alarm Log and
Spirometry Loops (including the currently plotting loop, reference loop, and baseline loop); and
places the system into Standby mode
(see FIGURE5-4).
For software bundle version 02.02.00 or later, after the End Case button is selected, a warning
box with a Restore default settings checkbox will be displayed. Selecting the Restore default
settings checkbox reloads the user defaults, clears patient demographics, clears the history,
clears the spirometry reference loops, and places the system into Standby mode
(see FIGURE5-
4).
If the Restore Default settings checkbox is not selected, all the settings are retained.
FIGURE 5-3 End Case Checkbox
In Standby, all system functions are on idle. It is the default system startup mode and is used
after ending the case.
