Modifiers and manual parameters
Modifiers enable you to save additional information for the measurements for a specific
patient:
•
Standard modifiers are the same on all devices
• Custom modifiers are specific to a facility or a unit; custom modifiers are set up
during the initial configuration requested by your facility.
Manual parameters are core measurements that you can enter physically on the monitor,
such as height, weight, temperature, and pain.
