New Patient Check
The fetal monitor can be configured to ask you in certain situations:
• after a specified power-off period
• after a specified standby period
whether a new patient is now being monitored. The pop-up window is entitled
Is this a New Patient?.
The monitor offers a
Yes key, to discharge the previous patient and begin monitoring a new patient,
and a
No key, to continue monitoring with the current patient data and settings.
The time periods for the two conditions can be configured independently.
OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal
When the monitor is connected to an OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal system over a LAN
connection, it has the control over patient demographic data. All patient and location-related data
visible on the monitor is set, overwritten, or updated by the OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal
system. In the
Patient Demographics window, a padlock symbol before the patient identification fields
indicates the locked state. The locked state prevents the reuse of the monitor for another patient, until
the current patient is discharged, and the monitor is freed through the OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace
Perinatal system. Locked fields remain locked when system connectivity is lost, until the monitor is
freed by discharging the patient. See the OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal Instructions for Use for
details.
Transferring a Patient
When you are transferring a patient from one bed to another, both the monitor from which you are
transferring her and the monitor to which you are transferring her must be switched on and connected
to the OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal network during the patient transfer.
