6.2.5 Discharging a Patient
Discontinue monitoring a patient by discharging them from the monitor. Discharging a patient clears 
all their historical data from the monitor. 
NOTE: When connected to a central monitoring system (i.e., central station), a 
patient’s discharge from the V 12/V 21 bedside monitor also discharges 
the patient from the central station. Refer to the central station 
operating instructions for additional information. 
NOTE: Switching leadsets or discharging a patient automatically reverts the 
ST Dialog Representative Beat Display setting to the default of Auto. 
NOTE: Do not turn off the V 12/V 21 before discharging is complete.
