with the current patient's MRN:, Second ID:, and Name: if they are available. Those
fields are blank if the information has not previously been entered.
When CARESCAPE ONE is used as an acquisition module with a host monitor, the host
monitor Continue menu provides options for handling patient data that may be stored
in the CARESCAPE ONE. Refer to the host monitor user's manual for more information.
The Continue menu remains open until you select one of these options:
Select Continue Current to continue monitoring the current patient with the
●
settings and patient information in the monitor.
Select New Patient (New Case in OR and PACU software packages) to discharge
●
the current patient from the monitor, deleting all patient information and resetting
the monitor to the default values for all settings, including alarm limits. You can
then admit the new patient to the monitor.
Select Standby to return the monitor to standby mode. This option only appears
●
when the monitor has come out of standby mode and there is no patient
connected. It is not possible to enter standby mode if the CARESCAPE ONE detects
any active parameter data.

About standby

When you remove the patient temporarily from the monitor, you can use the
standby option to put the monitor on standby until the patient is reconnected to
the monitor. You can also use the standby option before a patient is admitted to
the monitor/patient case is started. Configure the current patient settings for the
incoming patient, then put the monitor in standby to prevent nuisance alarms or
automatic discharge due to monitor inactivity.

Starting standby

1. Select the patient information area on the screen or select Pt. Data & Trends >
Admit/Discharge or Start / Reset Case.
2. Select the Standby tab.
3. If a patient is connected, select Prepare for Standby to pause audible alarms for 2
minutes. This allows time to disconnect patient cables.
If no patient is connected (no CARESCAPE Parameters are connected to the
CARESCAPE ONE), select Standby from the Standby tab, and the monitor will
immediately enter standby.
4. Disconnect the patient cables and check that NIBP Auto is turned off.
If patient cables are still connected and the monitor receives vital signs, a
message indicating that audio alarms have been paused appears.
If you do not disconnect the cables and vital signs are still present after the audio
pause time expires, the standby is canceled. You can also cancel the standby
before the timer expires by selecting Cancel Standby.
The monitor will automatically enter standby when all cables are disconnected
and NIBP Auto is turned off. The screen goes blank and the GE logo with the
message Standby appears.
