Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient with X2 or MP5
WARNING
Measurements from a MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on
battery power. They are only available when the X2 is running on external power, either when
connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A).
Scenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved to another monitoring location on the same
Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend information.
1 Before you disconnect the X2/MP5 from the host monitor, select the patient name field or select
the
Admit/ Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window, then select the
Transfer pop-up key. If the patient is not admitted or not monitored by an Information Center,
the
Transfer key is inactive ("grayed-out").
This step preserves the patient's demographic data during the transfer.
2 Remove the X2/MP5 and any connected extensions from the monitor.
3 Move the patient using the X2/MP5 as the transport monitor.
4 At the new location, connect the X2/MP5 to the new host monitor. If the monitor detects a
patient mismatch, a window will open showing your patient's data and asking
Complete Transfer
Of This Patient?
.
5 Select Yes to complete the transfer. This re-admits the patient from the transfer list to the new
monitor. This will upload the patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings
and trend data stored in the X2/MP5 to the receiving monitor.
6 Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct.
Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient with X2 or MP5 using IIT
WARNING
Measurements from a MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on
battery power. They are only available when the X2 is running on external power, either when
connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A).
Scenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved with an X2 or MP5 to another monitoring location
on the same Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend
information. The X2/MP5 has an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface (IIT), is connected to a
host monitor, and is declared as a telemetry device at the Information Center.
NOTE
The Transfer key is not available while the X2/MP5 is connected to a host monitor (Companion
Mode is indicated).
1 Remove the X2/MP5 and any connected extensions from the host monitor.
2 Move the patient using the X2/MP5 as the transport monitor.
3 At the new location, just before connecting the X2/MP5 to the new host monitor:
– open the
Patient Demographics window.
– select the
Transfer pop-up key.
