4.1 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 deleted from the monitor. The technical alarms are reset, and monitor settings
return to their defaults. For details, refer to 5.3 Setting Default Configuration.
After a patient is discharged, the monitor automatically admits a new patient.
WARNING
z 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.
NOTE
z Discharging a patient clears the current patient data from the monitor.

required passwordė[OK].
2. Select a time for [Auto Discharge Pat.]. The monitor will automatically discharge the
patient when the selected time period is reached. The default is Never. That is to say the
monitor will not discharge a patient no matter for how long the monitor has been
switched off.
