Sensor Event Records
WARNING: The sensor extrapolates from the date and time
provided by the N-600x when recording the sensor event
record to the sensor. The accuracy of the date/time is
determinated by the date/time of the N-600x. It is
recommended that the N-600x user set the time/date to the
correct value before a sensor event record-enabled sensor
is connected, and that this date/time not be changed while
the sensor remains connected. Since a sensor with sensor
event record data can be transported from one monitor to
another, having discrepancies in the date/time between
monitors and the sensor event record data will affect the
order the sensor event record data appears. To eliminate
this possible problem, all monitors within an institution
should be set to the same time.
The adhesive O M sensors are capable of storing patient alarm
XI AX
event data. A sensor event record allows alarm event history to
travel with the patient on the sensor's memory chip for quick
assessment at every point of care where O
used.
Patient (alarm event) data is stored on the memory chip of
adhesive O M sensors (single-patient-use O
XI AX
only). The alarm event data is stored (recorded) with the limit/
threshold settings that were active at the time of the event on the
recording monitor. These events can be viewed on the next
O M sensor monitor when the patient moves to a new point of
XI AX
care.
An event occurs when the %SpO

grouped and recorded to the memory chip every 5 minutes. The
