Data Transfer Using the Memory Card
Transferring data from one monitor to another with the PCMCIA memory card is a
two-step process:
1. Copy data from the source monitor to the card.
2. Copy the data from the card to the destination monitor.
After the data has been copied to the destination monitor, it is no longer available on
the card. The monitor displays the current patient's name and ID number at the
beginning of a data transfer. Because the data on the card overwrites data on the
destination monitor, you can overwrite one patient's data with another's, effectively
discharging the former and admitting the latter. Make sure you copy information to
the destination monitor before you perform significant monitoring functions.
Memory Card Transfer
WA R N I N G :
CAUTION: Do not remove the memory card while a copy is in process. If the transfer
fails, repeat the procedure using a new card.
NOTE: A memory card transfer from a monitor with VF8 level software to a monitor
with a lower level software functions appropriately. However, a memory card transfer
from a monitor with a lower level software to one with a VF8 level software is no
supported.
