Releasing Frozen Waves
To release frozen waves,
1 Select a frozen wave.
2 Select Unfreeze Waves.
All frozen waves are released.
Using Labels
Every measurement associated with a monitor is identified by a unique label. You may have more than
one instance of some measurements, for example pressure, being used simultaneously. The monitor
uses the labels to distinguish between them. The default settings defined in the profile (such as
measurement color, wave scale, and alarm settings) are stored within each label. When you assign a
label to a measurement, the monitor automatically applies these default settings to the measurement.
The labels assigned are used throughout the monitor, in reports, recordings, and in trends.
Changing Measurement Labels (e.g. Pressure)
To change a measurement label of a measurement with multiple labels (e.g. invasive pressure or
temperature),
1 Enter the wave menu of the measurement.
2 Select Label.
3 Choose a label from the list.
The monitor automatically applies the scale, color, etc. settings stored in the Profile for the label you
select. You can change scale settings in Monitoring Mode, but color can only be changed in the
monitor's Configuration Mode.
Any labels already being used in the monitor are shown "grayed-out" in the list and cannot be selected.
About Label Sets
Your monitor may be configured to use a Restricted or Full label set. The Full label set provides extra
labels for Pressure and Temp. See the sections on Pressure and Temperature in these Instructions for
Use for more information.
If you connect an MMS from a monitor using a
Full label set to an IntelliVue monitor using a
Restricted label set or an M3/M4 monitor, any additional labels switch to labels available in the target
monitor. This may cause a label conflict with other monitored measurements.
Be aware that connecting a monitor using the
Full label set to an Information Center with certain
software revisions may affect the availability of measurement information from the additional labels on
the Information Center. See the Information Center documentation and your monitor's Configuration
Guide for information on label set compatibility.
Resolving Label Conflicts
Each label must be unique, that is, it can only be assigned once. You cannot monitor two pressures
labeled "ICP" at the same time. If you need to use two identical pressures, you must assign different
labels to them, for example, P and ICP.
Measurement labels are stored in the measurement device (module or MMS). If you try to use two
measurement devices that have identical labels, this causes a label conflict in the monitor.
