When a patient mode change is requested, a prompt screen is displayed giving the
following confirmation options:
• Save patient data and continue - This will confirm the patient mode set and keep
the same patient data.
• Purge patient data and continue - This will confirm the patient mode, but delete all
patient data.

will keep the current patient data.

is deleted when the patient mode is changed. A message appears on the
confirmation screen (above) to state this.
