Recording Alarms
An alarm recording may be triggered whenever a parameter enters an alarm
condition. Recordings in the process of printing cannot be interrupted or delayed
by a new alarm condition.
Selecting Recording Destination
The RECORDING DESTINATION menu contains keys that direct alarm
recordings to a bedside recorder, a network printer, or both. All other recordings
may be directed only to a bedside printer or a network printer, but not both.
Alarm recordings begin with several seconds of pre-alarm waveform data and
continue for as long as the alarm condition exists (a minimum of 12-seconds).
Printing via Monitors
Non-Waveform Data
Whenever you display non-waveform data on either the central or bedside
monitors, a PRINT key displays. The RECORD key is not functional for printing
non-waveform data. As a result, non-waveform data must be displayed before it
can be recorded.
Non-waveform data usually occupies a minimum of two slots in the printer’s queue
due to the volume of information being sent. This means that a single non-
waveform recording may take up as much room on the strip chart as two
simultaneous waveform recordings.
If the data cannot fit on the strip at one time, it is separated horizontally, printing
first the top half and then the bottom half of the data.
!
• Parameter alarm recordings can be set to OFF so that a printer
will not respond to an alarm condition (the alarm tone and
accompanying alarm message are unaffected). Refer to
Automatic Recording of an Alarm on page 2-10 for more details.
!
• 12-lead ECG reports will always print to the 90838 printer, if
available, regardless of the destination settings for the
recording.
