Import multiple readings for one patient
You can import a patient's saved timed-interval readings from a vital signs device into the Connex
VM system. 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.
WARNING When you initiate data import into the Connex VM system from a vital
signs device, select all data that needs to be retained. When the Connex VM system
imports data, vital signs data (including nonselected data) may be cleared from the
device.
