3-26
(bell) Entry made when an alarm is violated (alarming vital sign is shown in inverse video).
n Entry made when a user-initiated NIBP reading is completed.
a Entry made when an automatic (timed interval) NIBP reading is completed.
t Entry made when a predictive SureTemp reading is completed.
v Entry made when the user presses the STORE VS key (indicates “validated” entry).
m Entry made when the vital signs are manually entered via the CIS module or
Guardian telemetry transmitter.
p Indicates that the monitor was powered down prior to clearing VSC data. All
entries listed below the “p” entry were stored before the monitor was powered
down.
s Indicates that ALL monitoring was SUSPENDED at this time entry.
r Indicates that monitoring was RESTORED at this time entry.
Storing VS Charts in Monitor Memory
Up to 100 VSC entries remain stored in the monitor’s memory for the entire time the monitor is
turned on. Additionally, you can set power-up defaults for your monitor so that these entries stay
in memory for 5, 15, or 30 mins., or 1, 4, 8, or 24 hours after you shut off the monitor (this
feature can also be turned OFF). This “power down memory” is factory set to 15 minutes. If you
need to change this factory default, please consult service personnel.
“Episodic” VS Entries
Episodic entries are defined as vital sign measurements that are not continuously monitored,
including NIBP and predictive SureTemp. Prism and Prism SE monitors include a VALID TIME
setting in power-up defaults that defines how long episodic measurement numerics display on-
screen. The factory default for this valid time is 15 minutes. This setting should only be changed
by service personnel.
Episodic entries can initiate VSC entries if these functions are turned on in the VSC setup menu.
Additionally, episodic measurements that are on-screen (i.e. within the valid time) will post once
to the VS chart when entries are initiated by automatic VSC entry options.
NOTE: Episodic measurements will not post to a VS chart more than
once for all automatic entries, even if they are displayed and within
the Valid Time. There is one exception to this rule: the STORE VS key
will capture ALL measurements displayed on the monitor at a given
time, regardless of their continuous or episodic nature.
Clearing Patient Data from VSC (Vital Sign Chart)
Prism and Prism SE monitors allow power down memory for retention of vital signs/trends and
can be cleared by user. This timeframe is configured as a default setting.
