Entering Patient Id Information; Using The Bar Code Scanner To Enter Patient Ids - Philips SureSigns VS1 Manuel D'utilisation

This chapter describes how to enter patient IDs in the VS1 monitor.
You do not have to enter an ID to start a measurement; however, if a measurement is started without a
patient ID, the monitor identifies the patient as "Unknown." Also, when you enter an ID, either manually or
using the bar code scanner, the next set of measurements are assigned to the last ID entered. You cannot
enter IDs for later use.
To ensure that all measurements are recorded under the same ID during spot check measurements, you
must follow this sequence of steps:
1. Place the SpO
2. Apply the NIBP cuff and initiate a measurement cycle.
The Temperature measurement can be taken any time during the cuff measurement cycle. As soon as all
measurements are complete, all the data is written to the patient's record
Caution If cuff intervals or Temperature Monitoring mode are in use, or if the SpO
the same patient for longer than 5 minutes, the monitor assumes that all measurements taken during
that time belong to the same patient and places those values in memory under that patient ID.
If no cuff intervals are set and the SpO
been entered), as additional measurements are taken, the monitor assumes the vital signs are for a
new patient and the values are saved to an "Unknown" patient ID.

Using the Bar Code Scanner to Enter Patient IDs

The optional bar code scanner provides a quick way to enter patient ID information in the VS1 monitor.
Step Action
1 If you have not already done so, connect the scanner to the monitor, as described in Setting Up the
Monitor on page 2-1. Turn the monitor on.
2 Pull the scanner's trigger and, with the scanner approximately 6 inches from the patient's wrist, aim the
red scanning light at the patient's bar code.
As the unit beeps, the ID code is recorded into memory.
3 Verify that the ID displayed on the LCD screen matches the ID on the patient's wrist, then press the Save
→ Main soft key.
4 Begin measuring the patient's vital signs. The measurements are then assigned to the ID you just scanned
into memory.
Note— You must begin measurements within 30 seconds of entering the patient ID to ensure that the
measurements are assigned to the ID you entered.
