Transferring vital signs readings into the
system
Capture readings at the workstation
From the Connex VM workstation, you can start an NIBP measurement and capture readings from
a vital signs device. This procedure applies to wired vital signs devices that are compatible with
the system.
WARNING When you transfer data into the Connex VM system, you associate the
data with a patient by selecting a patient name in the system. Verify that you select
the correct name. If you select an incorrect name, you associate the data with a
wrong patient.
WARNING Whenever you enter data into the Connex VM workstation, verify that
the data is correct before you save it.
1. With the vital signs device connected to the Connex VM workstation, take one of these steps
from the Connex VM Home page:
•
Scan or type the patient ID in the Scan or type patient ID box, and then click Go. If
you see the Patient record page, click Capture vital signs.
• Locate the patient name, and click and select Capture vital signs.
