9 Storing, Retrieving & Printing

This chapter describes how the HeartStart XLT creates a patient record, called an Event Summary, for later retrieval and printing. It covers how to mark events for storage in the Event Summary, as well as how to print individual events as they occur.

Overview

The HeartStart XLT automatically creates an Event Summary for each patient. The Event Summary is stored in the HeartStart XLT’s internal memory and on a Data Card (if one is used).

The internal Event Summary stores up to 300 pieces of critical information,
called events, and 50 ECG strips (11 seconds each). Events include things
such as charging, shocks, and alarm violations. In addition, you trigger an
event each time you press EventMark or StripPrint .
Storage on a Data Card is limited only by available space on the card. In addi-	9

tion to storing all of the events that occur, a continuous copy of the displayed ECG and Patient Contact Impedance is also stored.

You can print the internal Event Summary at any time. You can also configure the HeartStart XLT to print individual events automatically as they occur and, of course, you can activate printing of individual events and patient informa-

tion, at any time, by pressing Summary .

To print the Event Summary stored on the Data Card, the information must first be downloaded to the HeartStart Event Review Data Management system. Refer to the HeartStart Event Review Instructions for Use for instruc- tions.
