Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor 300 Series

Date

Time

The recording time is printed for each record, in the form hh:mm (using a 24-hour clock),
at the beginning of the first line of the record.

In the illustration below, the first record (21:45) contains systolic and diastolic pressure,
MAP, pulse rate, and SpO2 readings; the second record (21:52) contains systolic and
diastolic pressure, MAP, pulse rate, and temperature; and the third record (22:12) contains
only a temperature reading. When temperature is the only recorded vital sign, the time is
printed on the same row as the temperature reading.

Range and alarm flags

Flag characters (

 and ) indicate a data value that falls outside of a defined range or

violates a programmed alarm threshold. In the illustration above, 69

 indicates a diastolic

pressure value below the programmed alarm limit, and 110.0F

indicates a temperature

value above the monitor’s temperature measurement limit.

Temperature

The temperature notation includes information about the type and location of the
measurement, and can include error notation:
