5.6.3 Freeze Mode
Use this feature to temporarily hold or freeze all current waveforms, even
those that are not displayed. Monitoring does not stop; you can still view the
current measured values in the parameter boxes.
When you freeze the waveforms, you may not adjust any waveform settings.
In addition, attempting to perform any other functions will cause the freeze
mode to be cancelled. For example, if you freeze the waveforms and then
select ALARMS from the main menu, the alarm limits box will be displayed in
the waveform area and the waveforms will no longer be in freeze mode.
To freeze the waveforms:
1. Press the Freeze key on the right side of the monitor. The waveforms will
stop, or freeze.
2. Press the “Page Up” or “Page Dn” to browse the waveform and press “Save”
to store the frozen waveform section in a file.
3. To start the waveforms again, press the Freeze Key again.
5.6.4 Trends
The monitor stores tabular trend data graph every 10 seconds for up to 120
hours for the following parameters:
a. ECG
• Heart Rate
• ST
b. Oximetry
• Oxygen saturation (SpO
2
)
• Pulse rate, when SpO
2
is the selected heart rete source
c. Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) (systolic, diastolic, mean)
d. Temperature (T1 and T2)
