The Line List display shown above is an example of the data that typically appears in the display. It
includes the following information:
•
The date (7/9), followed by the patient name and ID. If patient information has not been entered,
Unknown? is displayed.
•
The time at which the vital signs for the specified patient were recorded (11:03).
•
The vital signs for the specified patient.
•
The cuff interval has been set at 5 minutes.
Any parameters that exceed upper or lower alarm limits are displayed in a box. A question mark (?) next to

not display the newly saved listing. If historical information is left on the screen for more than 30 seconds,
and no buttons are pressed, the screen will revert to the latest information.
Soft Keys
The soft keys are used to select settings that you want to review or change. Pressing one of these soft keys
yields more information about the setting that appears in the box above the selected key, and the screen will
change accordingly.
After using the soft keys to display a secondary screen, you can use the OK button to move the cursor
through the settings on the screen. Use the Up and Down buttons to increase or decrease values that are
highlighted or to toggle between two settings.
Saving Data
The monitor automatically saves information in the Line List memory when:
•
A blood pressure measurement is complete.
•
An alarm limit is violated.
•
A temperature measurement is complete.
•
A user-specified interval for storing data has occurred. See the next section, Changing the Save Rate.
•
The first SpO
If parameters are being measured concurrently, they will be saved to the Line List at the end of the longest
running measurement.
The Line List memory can save up to 400 lines of data. If the memory contains 400 lines and an additional
measurement is taken, the memory removes the oldest listing and adds the current one.
Data is saved automatically when the unit is turned off. When you turn the monitor back on, the entire Line
Listing will again be available.
Changing the Save Rate
The VS1 monitor automatically saves data, as described in the previous section. You can also choose to
save data at a rate not related to the cycles described above. To change the rate at which data is saved, open
the System Settings screen and change the value of the Line List Input setting
