SpeedScreen mode (alternative to Steps 3 to 6 of ScreenBaby mode)

When enabled (see Biomed preferences), SpeedScreen mode allows advanced users to
immediately begin screening according to Biomed-selected default parameters. Infants
should be prepped, and screening supplies/cable attachments should be in place prior to
clicking on SpeedScreen. You may only enter infant data by clicking the OK key (to
access Infant Data window) prior to completion of the screen. SpeedScreen may decrease
total screening time by allowing users to enter infant data while the screening is in
progress.
a. Prepare infant for screening. Refer to Chapter VI: Baby Preparation.
b. Turn on the ALGO 3i screener, wait for the MainMenu to appear, and click on
SpeedScreen. (If required fields are set, SpeedScreen will not be available.) Click the
OK key.
c. If impedances are below 8 kOhms, screening will immediately begin, and ALGO 3i
screener will advance to the "Screening in Progress" window.
i. If impedances are between 8 kOhms and 11 kOhms, the "Impedances Marginal"
message will appear, showing actual impedances, and asking you to confirm your
intention to begin screening. Natus recommends skin prepping to reduce
impedances to below 8 kOhms.
ii. If impedances are 12 kOhms or greater, the "Impedances Too High" message
will appear and screening will pause. Skin prepping is necessary.
iii. Once impedances are satisfactory, click the OK key to begin or continue
screening.
iv. The ALGO 3i screener will advance to the Screening in Progress window.
d. If you wish to enter infant data for the screening record, click OK from the Screening
in Progress window to access the Infant Data window.
i. You must access the Infant Data window prior to completion of the screen
(minimum time is about 36 seconds), or else the screening record will be saved
without any infant data.
ii. The device will display the Infant Data window. Enter the desired information,
and click OK to return to the Screening in Progress window. As in ScreenBaby
mode, the ALGO 3i screener will display the information you have entered and
will ask you to confirm that all data is correct.
Note: There is no time constraint for entering infant data once you are in the
Infant Data window. The screen may be completed while you are entering infant
information but the ALGO 3i device will wait until you click OK before matching
this infant information to the screening results and save it as a screening record.
