20Event Surveillance
Events are electronic records of episodes in your patient’s condition. You can trigger them manually, or
set them to trigger automatically during pre-defined clinical situations.
The information the monitor stores for each event episode includes:
• waveforms for up to three measurements, ECG, SpO
2
and Respiration
• numeric vital signs for all the measurements monitored
• any alarm conditions active when the event episode was triggered
You can navigate through the event database to view events retrospectively, and you can document
events on a recording or report marked with the patient name, bed label, and the data and time.
When an MP5 is connected to a host monitor, event surveillance will be disabled. No new events will
be detected and no existing events will be deleted. There is no data exchange between the host monitor
and the MP5 for event surveillance. When the MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor event
surveillance will resume and new events will be detected.
Event Episodes
When an event occurs, information for a
predefined duration is stored. This is the
event episode. It includes information
from a defined period before the trigger,
called the event pre-time. The episode
time after the event is called the event
post-time. If a further event occurs during
the event post-time it changes a single
event to a combined event (combi-event).
Manually-triggered event episodes
document patient information from the
time leading up to the event trigger; they
do not have a post-time.
