To resolve a label conflict:
1 Select the measurement selection key or select Main Setup, then Meas. Selection to display the
Measurement Selection window.
2 Select the device whose label you want to correct.
3 Use the measurement selection pop-up keys to resolve the conflict. Select either:
–
Change Label: to assign a different label to the conflicting label.
–
Activate: to activate the highlighted measurement and deactivate the blinking measurement.
This requires confirmation.
–
De- Activate: to disable the conflicting device. It retains its label for future use but becomes
invisible to the monitor, as though it had been unplugged. When the device has been
deactivated the question marks under the measurement selection key will be replaced by XXX.
–
Setup <Measurement Label>: to enter the Setup menu for the measurement and change the
conflicting device's label to a different label.
–
Modify Driver (VueLink/IntelliBridge only): - to modify the device driver setup to disable the
conflicting device's label.
Label Compatibility
When a new measurement is introduced, or new labels for an existing measurement, these labels will
not be shown on older Information Centers, and consequently not on the Overview screen sourced
from the Information Center.
When a patient is transferred from a monitor with these new labels to one with an older software
revision, the labels will be replaced with a generic label for that measurement. The settings for that
generic label will then be used.
If it is critical that the measurement labels are available at the Information Center and after transfers,
the older monitors and the Information Center must be upgraded to the appropriate software revision.
Entering Measurements Manually
You can enter values into the monitor that have been measured with other equipment or manually (for
example, manual temperatures, lab values). These values are then stored in the database, included in
trends and reports, and passed on to the Information Center and central charting systems. There is no
alarm functionality for manually entered measurements.
To enter values,
1 Select the Enter Values SmartKey or select Main Setup then select Enter MeasValues.
2 Select the measurement you want to enter values for. The Edit window will open.
3 If the measurement is switched off, switch it on by selecting the label.
4 Select Value and enter the value.
5 Select Date/Time to enter the date and time for the value. The default is always the current date
and time.
6 For compound labels, for example ABPs, ABPd and ABPm, select the Format field to select
whether all values are required or a single value.
7 Select Save.
When a manually entered value has been configured to display as a numeric on the screen, you can also
enter a new value for this measurement by selecting the numeric, then selecting
Enter MeasValues.
