5.5.2 Transferring Patient Data
To transfer the patient data via N1/T1/MPM, insert the N1/T1/MPM into the module rack or SMR.
■ If the patient demographics in the monitor are consistent with those of in the N1/T1/MPM, the N1/T1/MPM 
automatically uploads the data to the monitor.
■ If the patient demographics in the monitor are not consistent with those of in the N1/T1/MPM, and Data 
Transfer Strategy is set to Always Ask (for more information, see5.5.2Transferring Patient Data), the 
monitor prompts the Select Patient menu automatically. In this case, you need to select an operation (see 
the following table) according to the actual situation. 
• If you select Apply Module Settings, the N1/T1/MPM settings can be transferred to the monitor 
along with the patient data. For more information, see5.6Exporting Patient Data.
5.6 Exporting Patient Data
To export the data of the current patient and discharged patients, follow this procedure:
1. For N17/N15/N12/N12C, connect the USB drive to the monitor’s USB connector. For N22/N19. connect the 
USB drive to the monitor’s MSB connector.

Operations Operation Description Examples of applications
Continue Patient in Monitor Continue to use the patient data in the 
monitor. This deletes all patient data in the 
N1/T1/MPM and copies all data in the 
monitor to the N1/T1/MPM.
1. Replace N1/T1/MPM during patient 
monitoring.
2. After the patient is admitted, connect the 
N1/T1/MPM.
Continue Patient in Module Continue to use the patient data in N1/T1/
MPM. The monitor discharges the patient, 
and automatically admits a new patient 
and copies all data from N1/T1/MPM.
You are monitoring a patient using N1/T1/
MPM, and you need to transfer the patient, 
e.g. from a ward (original monitor) to the 
operating room (destination monitor).
New Patient Select this option if you will not use either 
the information in the monitor or that in 
the N1/T1/MPM. This deletes all data in the 
monitor and N1/T1/MPM and lets you 
admit a new patient on the monitor. In this 
case, you need to re-enter the patient 
demographics. The monitor will restore the 
settings according to the patient category.
Connect the N1/T1/MPM before admitting 
a new patient. However, the monitor and/
or N1/T1/MPM have stored the previous 
patient’s data and settings.
Same Patient Select this option if the patient information 
in the monitor and N1/T1/MPM are 
different but you are sure that it is the same 
patient. This merges the patient’s trend 
data in the monitor and N1/T1/MPM and 
copies the settings in N1/T1/MPM to the 
monitor as well.
A patient monitored with the N1/T1/MPM 
is moved to another department and again 
moved back.
However, the patient information stored in 
the N1/T1/MPM was altered before 
connected to the original monitor.
