Printing: Initiating a Manual Graph
Initiating a Manual Graph
If you click on a patient’s ECG parameter window, a continuous graph is
initiated for the patient. Clicking on the ECG parameter window again
will stop the graph.
The PRN 50 digital writer and the Direct Digital Writers (DDW) print
patient data (generally referred to as a graph or graph strip). Data can
also be printed on a laser printer.
The waveforms graphed and graph speed are controlled in the individual
patient’s Graph Setup tab sheet. Unit defaults for telemetry patients can
be set in the CIC Defaults tab sheet and the Telemetry Unit Defaults tab
sheet. Refer to Chapter 6, Telemetry Setup, for more information on
setting telemetry unit defaults.
Automatic Alarm Graphs
A graph prints automatically when a patient experiences a Crisis or
Warning alarm condition. Arrhythmia alarm graphs run until the end of
the alarm event. The printer prints up to 10 seconds of data that
occurred immediately before the event, and prints for the duration of the
event. The printer stops printing when the patient returns to a normal
rhythm.
If a printer is not available at the time of the alarm event, a 20-second
graph is saved. This saved graph will print when a printer becomes
available.
