BIS™ Advance Monitor
During Case Review, the user can scroll through the trend in the displayed Trend
window through a specific case time, by swiping the monitor's touch screen left or
right to scroll through the available data. A cursor indicates the point in time on the
graph for which the data appears in the numeric window.
During Case Review, Alarms which were active during the specific case being
reviewed will not be displayed and will not sound. However, if a real-time alarm (not
connected to monitoring, since no monitoring takes place during Case Review)
occurs during case review, it will be displayed and will sound.
To save data from Case Review in a format for printing, reference 5.10 Viewing and
Printing Saved Data on page 203.
The monitor also provides an option to view a Case Log, by clicking the Case Log
button at the middle of the left bar of the Case Review screen seen in Figure 52. Case
Review Screen on page 141. This case log will list all events that occurred during the
case, with the time, Event ID, type of event (such as Alarm or Info [message]) and a
description of that event.
