9-9
In the sample VSC table illustration, notice that there is an unlabeled column to the left of the
TIME column. This column is used to display a letter or symbol that represents the catalyst for
that entry in the VSC table. This allows the operator to differentiate types of vital sign entries,
which may be important in determining which entries should be included in the patient’s
permanent record. For example, an entry that was initiated because the operator pressed the
STORE VS softkey might be considered differently than an automatic entry that required no
operator validation at the time of the entry. A complete listing of the available symbols and their
description is presented below:
VCS
Symbol Description
(blank) Entry made according to preselected automatic time interval.
(bell) Entry made when an alarm is violated (alarming vital sign is shown in inverse video).
n Entry made when a user-initiated NIBP reading is completed.
a Entry made when an automatic (timed interval) NIBP reading is completed.
t Entry made when a predictive SureTemp reading is completed.
v Entry made when the user presses the STORE VS key (indicates “validated” entry).
m Entry made when the vital signs are manually entered via the CIS module or
Guardian telemetry transmitter.
p Indicates that the monitor was powered down prior to clearing VSC data. All
entries listed below the “p” entry were stored before the monitor was powered
down.
s Indicates that ALL monitoring was SUSPENDED at this time entry.
r Indicates that monitoring was RESTORED at this time entry.
Storing VSC Data in Patient Monitor Memory
Up to 100 of the most recent VSC entries are stored in the monitor’s memory for the
entire time the monitor is turned on. Additionally, you can set power-up defaults for your
monitor to permit these entries to stay in memory for 5, 15, or 30 minutes, or 1, 4, 8, or
24 hours after you shut off the monitor (this storage of VSC data after power down can
also be turned OFF in power-up defaults). This “power down memory” is factory set to
15 minutes. If you need to change this factory default, please consult service personnel.
It is assumed that the operator(s) will not want to have vital sign data for more than one
patient displayed in the VSC table. Since the monitor is capable of saving VSC data when
the monitor is powered down, turning the monitor OFF may not clear the VSC table –
unless the length of time that the monitor is turned OFF exceeds the power-down
memory value discussed in the above paragraph. There are two methods to clear the VSC
data between patients:
