Admitting A Patient - Dräger Infinity Acute Care System M540 Instructions For Use Manual

Admitting a patient

You can admit a patient at the M540 manually by
entering the demographic data in the Patient setup
tab.
You can also admit a patient over the network by
pulling the data from an HL7/ADT interface. This is
either possible if the M540 is part of an IACS con-
figuration that is connected to the Infinity network,
the patient data can be retrieved over the network
and transferred to the M540.
WARNING
Monitors in a care area may seem identical but
may use different default alarm settings be-
cause of different profile assignments. After
admitting a patient, always verify that the set
alarm limits are appropriate for the patient.
