Patient data management
Patient demographic data is managed on the Patients tab.
From this tab, you can do the following:
• Retrieve a patient list from the network (for example, electronic medical records
(EMR) or a central station).
• Select a patient from the list.
• Manually create patient entries and a patient list.
• Scan a patient ID with the barcode scanner and return a patient name match from
your host system.
Note The patient name match could come from EMR or a central
station.
• Enter additional patient information such as manual parameters.
• Assign a patient and location to device only or to a central station during continuous
monitoring.
CAUTION Verify patient identity on the monitor after manual or barcode
entry and before printing or transferring patient records.

is in the Spot Check or Intervals Monitoring profile, you cannot manually
