6 Managing Patients
Connect the X2 to the new host monitor. The monitor detects a patient mismatch and a window
4
will open showing your patient's data and asking Complete transfer of this
patient?.
5
Select Yes to complete the transfer.This re-admits the patient from the transfer list to the new
monitor. This will upload the patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings
and trend data stored in the X2 to the receiving monitor.
Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct.
Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient with the Monitor
Scenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved with the monitor to another monitoring location on
the same Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend
information.
1
Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrge SmartKey to open the
Patient Demographics window, then select the Transfer pop-up key. If the patient is
not admitted or not monitored by an Information Center, the Transfer key is inactive
("grayed-out").
This step preserves the patient's demographic data during the transfer.
At the new location, connect the monitor to the network (only needed for wired networks). If the
2
monitor detects a patient mismatch, a window will open showing your patient's data and asking
Complete transfer of this patient?.
3
Select Yes to complete the transfer.
4
Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct.
If you accidentally transfer a patient, use Re-Admit to restore this patient's data to the Information
Center. If you are not connected to the network, select Clear Transfer to leave transfer mode.
The patient data remains in the monitor.
Data Exchange Between Information Centers
You can transfer demographic data and trend data from one IIC to another by selecting Transfer
on the patient monitor. Trend data is not shared between Information Centers and monitors.
Resolving Patient Information Mismatch
When you connect together devices which store patient demographic data, for example:
• an MMS and a monitor,
• an X2 or MP5 and a host monitor,
• a monitor and an Information Center,
the system compares patient category, paced status, and unique patient identification in order to
synchronize this information. If configured to do so, the monitor indicates a mismatch if the
information is not identical.
WARNING 1
When a monitor is connected to an Information Center by the wireless IntelliVue Instrument
Telemetry interface, the patient data will automatically be merged in the case of a transfer. This
means there is no patient discharge at the monitor and settings and trend data will be retained. You
will see a message on the monitor and the Patient Demographics window will automatically appear
so that you can check the data and change it if necessary.
