Configuring the PI String
Touch DEFINE PI STRING in the Biomed Level menu to display the Define Patient Identifier String dialog
box (Figure 2-25).
Figure 2-25: Define Patient Identifier String dialog box
The current PI string definition is displayed in the Rule box and is defined using the three rows of item keys
(General Items, Patient Name, and Delimiter). Touch a key in one of these rows to append that item to the
end of the Rule’s existing contents. The items are appended exactly as they are selected.
For example:
• Selecting the same Delimiter (separator) twice inserts that delimiter into the Rule box twice.
• Touching AGE and then GENDER inserts the patient's age and gender into the Rule box without a
separating character.
• Touching AGE, a delimiter, and then GENDER ensures that consecutive items are separated.
No more than two consecutive delimiter strings can be added to the Rule box at one time. To display
identifying information, the monitor gathers the PI data associated with the items displayed in the Rule box
from the remote monitor’s GDS.
The three keys on the right side of the Define Patient Identifier String dialog box enable you to clear,
save, or transfer the Rule as follows:
• Touch CLEAR to clear the Rule box.
• Touch SAVE to save the contents of the Rule box as the PI string definition. Below the Delimiter keys, the
monitor displays the message Configuration Saved if errors are not detected and displays the message
Unable to save PI Config string, try again if errors are detected.
• Touch TRANSFER to transfer this monitor's PI string definition to other selected monitors.
To configure the strings on multiple monitors:
1 Define and save the PI string on one monitor using the Define Patient Identifier String dialog box.
2 Touch the TRANSFER key to display the Transfer Patient Identifier Configuration dialog box.
