TAKING MEASUREMENTS
When “Take Measurements” is pressed from the Main Menu, the monitor will allow you to measure:
•Blood pressure
•Pulse oximetry
•Temperature
•Prothrombin time
•Fluid status
•Blood glucose
•Weight
•ECG
For each selection, the monitor will display detailed instructions on how to take each measurement. You should be familiar with the operation and use of the vital signs accessories attached to your monitor. If you have difficulty, or if the monitor displays an error message, call your clinician.
When all instructions have been read, press “Take Measurement.” A voice prompt will alert you to: “Please remain still, measurement may take some time.” After the measurement is complete, the measurement results will be displayed on the screen.
After each measurement, you will be asked if you have more measurements to do. Answer “Yes” or “No.”
If you answer “Yes,” the monitor will continue to store measurements in memory and send them to your clinician all at once when you are finished. Press “No” if you are finished; the data will be sent to your clinician. If you accidentally press “No,” the monitor will immediately send this information to your clinician. Once it is finished sending the data, you can continue taking more measurements using the “Take Measurements” button on the Main Menu.
When measurements appear as an activity, after completion of the measurements, the screen will advance to the next scheduled activity.
