9.3.5 Entering patient details
Pressing the Patient Details button allows the patient’s name, ID and allergies to be entered.
The patient’s age (or age group) and sex can be entered at any time. If the age (in years) is entered by the
user, the Tempus calculates the age group. If the patient’s age is not known or is less than 1 year, the user
can select the patient’s age group. The Tempus uses the selected age group to update alarm limits.
WARNING
Patient age group is an important factor for determining the correct initial inflation
pressure (and maximum inflation pressure) for non-invasive blood pressure
measurements in children of 12 years and under and also for neonates (28 days old
or less) – see “6.2.3 NIBP settings”.
Failure to set the correct age group for these patients may result in them being
subject to higher inflation pressures than is warranted. For new patients, the default
settings are Adult/Male. Always check and enter the patient’s age or select the correct
age group.
CAUTION
Patient age affects the settings used in some medical modules.
Note
Weight and height are included in the patient report but do not affect any monitoring settings
in the Tempus Pro medical parameters.
