Storing Events in the History File
Some events are stored automatically in a patient’s history file. These include alarms
if alarms are set to STORE on the Alarm Config screen, and hourly vital signs of ven-
tilator patients.
You can also manually store events for later review and printing. All available data is
stored in the history event, including received waves of data, vital statistics, ST tem-
plates (if ST is enabled), and derived ECG leads, if available.
1. Press Store on the View screen. This stores the event in the patient’s history
file along with the following:
• date and time of the event
• 20 seconds of waveform data (10 seconds before the event and 10 seconds
after the event)
2. Press the History button to display the History screen. You will see the event
listed in the patient’s history entries as Store VCOM.
3. The two wave windows below the history entries list show a compressed view
of the entire history event. Press the Wave buttons to cycle through available
leads.
• For ambulatory patients, lead I is displayed in the upper window and lead
II in the lower window.
• For bedside monitored patients, the first transmitted wave is displayed in
the upper window and the second transmitted wave is displayed in the low-
er wave window.
•The Wave buttons and windows are disabled for ventilator patients.
CAUTION: If two events of the same priority occur at the same time, only the first event
detected is stored in history and can be printed.
