5 Managing Patients and Equipment
113
If the system is configured to support transfer with equipment, the next step is that you move the
patient together with the equipment, e.g. multi-measurement module, to the destination bed you
have selected. If the equipment is still connected to the source bed, the
Transfer with Equipment
window opens requesting you to move the patient and equipment, but also offering the possibility
to keep the multi-measurement module at the current bed for use with the next patient (with the
pop-up key
No Unplug).
WARNING
Before doing a transfer ensure that no other patient is using the destination bed and/or equipment
from the destination bed.
When a patient is transferred you need to check that the patient has all the required monitoring
equipment at the destination bed.
Moving the Patient with an MMS
PIIC iX 1 Connect the Multi-measurement Module to the patient monitor at the destination bed.
A
Question window will open, asking whether you want to transfer the patient to this bed.
2 Select the Yes pop-up key to complete the transfer.
Using the New Patient Key
PIIC iX If the monitor at the destination bed is not free:
1 Select the patient name field at the top of the monitor to open the Patient Demographics
window.
2 Select New Patient to free up the monitor.
3 Select Find Patient and enter your patient's name to get the patient data from the system.
When you select your patient from the list, you will be asked to confirm that the patient should be
transferred into this bed. After confirmation the transfer is complete.
Transferring Patients with IntelliVue Information Center
Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient
PIIC 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 MMS from the monitor, select the patient name field or select the
Patient Demogr. 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 MMS and any connected extensions from the monitor.
3 Silence the resulting MMS Unplugged INOP.
4 Connect the MMS to the transport monitor and monitor your patient during the move.
