Medic Mode Details
Medic Mode puts the VitalSense Monitor in a special configuration to
allow continuous monitoring of unlimited sensors.
• An unlimited number of sensors may be monitored in Medic Mode.
Ten can be monitored in Standard Mode.
• In Medic Mode, a VitalSense Monitor can monitor sensors activated by
another monitor. This is not possible in Standard Mode.
• Although data are logged if enabled, sensors are not tracked.
• Medic Mode can be used to monitor sensors that are still transmitting,
but are no longer in synchronization with their respective VitalSense
Monitor.
• When the VitalSense Monitor is in Medic Mode, a unique icon will
appear on the Data Views display and on the activation sequence
display.
NOTE: Using Medic Mode dramatically reduces the battery life of
the VitalSense Monitor. Expected battery life in continuous use is
approximately 48 hours.
Battery life may be extended by:
• Placing the monitor back in Standard Mode.
• Turning the monitor power off.
• Activating fewer sensors (activation requires the most power of any
VitalSense function).
