BeneVision N Series Patient Monitor Operator’s Manual 5 - 1
5 Managing Patients
5.1 Discharging a Patient
Before monitoring a new patient, discharge the previous patient. After the patient is discharged, all patient data,
including patient information, trend data, and physiological alarm information is be deleted from the monitor.
The technical alarms is reset, and monitor settings returns to their defaults. For more information, see 6.4Setting
Default Configuration.
After a patient is discharged, the monitor automatically admit a new patient.
• Always discharge the previous patient before starting monitoring a new patient. Failure to do so can
lead to data being attributed to the wrong patient.
5.2 Manually Discharging a Patient
Manually discharge a patient using any of the following methods:
â– Swipe down the touchscreen with two fingers.
â– Select the Discharge Patient quick key.
■Select the patient information area at the top left corner of the screen → Discharge Patient.
■Select the Patient Management quick key → Discharge Patient.
■Select the Main Menu quick key → from the Patient Management column select Discharge.
Select the desired item from the popup box:
â– Print End Case Report: prints the end case report when the patient is discharged.
â– Discharge: clears the waveform data of the current patient. The monitor loads the default configuration
and goes to the standby mode. The current patient becomes a discharged patient.
â– Clear Patient Data: discharges the current patient and clears the waveform data. The monitor still uses the
current configuration and does not go to the standby mode. The current patient becomes a discharged
patient.
5.3 Admitting a Patient
The monitor admits a new patient in the following situations:
â– After a patient is manually discharged, the monitor automatically admit a new patient.
â– After being switched off for the selected time period, the monitor automatically discharge the previous
patient and admit a new patient at startup.
â– If the monitor has not detected certain patient vital signs (ECG, SpO2, PR, RR, NIBP) for 30 minutes, you will
be prompted whether to start monitoring a new patient if any of the above vital signs are detected again.
Always inputs patient information as soon as the patient is admitted. For more information, see5.4.2Editing
Patient Information for details.
WARNING
• The settings of patient category and paced status always contain a default value, regardless of
whether the patient is admitted or not. Check if the setting is correct for your patient.
• For paced patients, you must set Paced to Yes. If it is incorrectly set to No, the monitor could mistake
a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm when the ECG signal is too weak.
• For non-paced patients, you must set Paced to No.
