Waveform And Vital Signs Priority; Waveform Sweep Speed - GE Dash 2500 Operator's Manual

Waveform and Vital Signs Priority

Waveform Sweep Speed

2042480-001 C
Using the Dash 2500 Patient Monitor: Screen
Waveforms and vital signs appear on the screen in order of priority. Where they
appear depends on which parameters are active and their respective priority.
Parameters are prioritized based on their order of importance for the particular
type of patient being monitored. Waveforms appear in the waveform area in the
following order, from top to bottom: ECG, SpO
NOTES
In the vital signs field, the HR/Pulse parameter always appears at the top.
In the waveform field, the ECG lead (if on-line) always appears at the top.
Waveforms for other parameters appear if the View waveform? option is
set to yes and space is available in the waveform field.
There are three sweep speeds for each cardiac or respiratory waveform. Any
change to a cardiac-based sweep speed will affect all cardiac waveforms,
unless ECG has the Fixed ECG sweep speed option (under Config setting menu)
is set to yes. Respiratory waveforms are affected in the same manner.
