Home Screen
Figure 3-14 Home Screen
The Home Screen is the main screen that displays ECG and other information. When a monitoring
cable is attached to the device, the corresponding monitoring area on the screen is activated and
the current patient values for that function are displayed. For example, when you connect an SpO
2
cable, the SpO
2
area is activated on the screen. SpO
2
values for the patient appear after the patient
is connected. When the cable is disconnected, the SpO
2
patient values are replaced by dashes (--).
Separate controls do not activate the monitoring functions, except for NIBP.
Each vital sign monitoring area is colored to match its waveform. This color scheme aids in
associating the displayed waveform with its vital sign value. When a function does not have a
waveform displayed, the vital sign area is gray.
WARNING
FAILURE TO DETECT A CHANGE IN ECG RHYTHM
Heart rate meters may count internal pacing pulses during cardiac arrest or some
arrhythmias. Do not rely entirely on heart rate meter alarms. Keep pacemaker patients
under close surveillance.
