Event Triggers
You can trigger event capture manually, for example, if you want to record a patient’s condition before
a procedure. You can also set events to trigger automatically, when the patient’s values cross a
predefined threshold value, or when a particular measurement or procedure is carried out, for example,
when an NBP measurement or a Cardiac Output or Wedge procedure is carried out.
If more than one trigger is available for the measurements in the active event group, the trigger
condition may be AtLeast1Par, AtLeast2Par, AtLeast3Par,or All4Par. If the trigger is
AtLeast1Par (this is short for ‘at least one measurement parameter’), the monitor starts an event
capture if a trigger occurs in any of this event group’s measurements. If the trigger is AtLeast3Par,
the monitor captures events when three or more trigger thresholds from this event group’s
measurements are violated. With Enhanced Condition you can not only select a minimum
number of triggers to trigger an event but define which specific measurement triggers these must be.
For example, AtLeast2Par will cause an event to be captured if a trigger occurs in any two of this
event group’s measurements - with Enhanced Condition you can select that only when triggers are
in HR and SpO2 an event will be captured.
The trigger condition for event groups is set in the monitor’s Configuration Mode.
