LABELS

This main menu option accesses the screen where you can enter custom patient
labels—alphanumeric characters that help identify patients and their associated
data. There are four lines available to enter labels.
A label is included in data transmissions and printouts. If you use the modem or
fax function, we recommend that you enter a label to identify the patient. If you
do not enter a label, the report will contain four blank lines, on which you can
write the patient's name. If you do not want a label, clear all text from the LABELS
screen.
If a custom patient label is desired, the label text m m m m u u u u s s s s t t t t be entered before
monitoring begins. Once the label is entered into memory, a a a a l l l l l l l l subsequent patient
data stored to memory is associated with that label (unless it is cleared or
changed). If a new label is not entered prior to monitoring, the data will be
associated with the previous label.
Once the label is input on the LABELS screen, you must press
label to trend memory. If you fail to press
LABELS screen and is not stored in trend memory.
Labels are stored in memory along with their associated SpO
value data. A new record is created in memory each time a new label is stored to
memory, the oximeter is turned off, or the date and/or time are changed. When a
report is generated, a page break and new headings print for each new record.
The labels you create remain in trend memory until you clear the trend data or
until all the patient data associated with the label are overwritten; i.e., when 24
hours of data are already stored in memory and the oldest records are overwritten
as additional data are recorded and stored to memory.
If labels and associated data are cleared from trend memory but label text is not
cleared from the LABELS screen when you begin monitoring again, any text on
the LABELS screen is used to identify the new record.
