to a Waveform Trace").
2. Press the softkey adjacent to the VSC parameter label to display the VSC function keys at the
bottom of the monitor (refer to section "VSC Function Keys" for additional information
regarding these keys).
3. Press the MORE softkey to display the second page of VSC function keys.

Viewing the Current Patient Information

The current patient information can be viewed at any time following the confirmation of the
patient. This information is referred to as the patient demographic information and consists of the
patient name, patient identification number, room/bed location (if available), sex, date of birth,
and physician's name. The patient demographic information is obtained from the hospital's ADT
system during the query process.
To display the current patient information:
1. Select the "F3-CURRENT PATIENT INFO" item from the CIS menu.

Special Circumstances

This section discusses situations that will not ordinarily be encountered. However, these
situations may occur under certain circumstances.

Sending Patient Data Stored in the CIS Module After the Fact

Situation 1:
Hospital Network Goes Down Temporarily After the Patient is Confirmed.
CIS STATUS MESSAGE:
"NO CIS FOUND" and Patient Name (Alternating and Flashing)
The CIS Communication Module relies on the hospital's network to send vital sign data from the
monitor to the Clinical Information System. In cases where the network goes down after the
patient is confirmed via the monitor, the CIS Module will save ALL vital sign entries that could
not be sent to the CIS because of the network status. Once the network connection is restored, the
CIS Module will automatically send ONLY the previously non-transmitted vital sign entries to
that patient's record in the CIS. Since the vital sign data in this situation is saved in the CIS
Module based upon the patient's hospital ID, the saved data can still be sent to the correct CIS
patient record even if the patient has been relocated or even discharged from the hospital. See
Situation 2 for additional steps necessary to send saved vital sign data for patients that were not
confirmed prior to the circumstances precluding the transmission of vital signs to the CIS.
