Assign a patient and location
You can assign a patient and location after you have begun to monitor a patient's vital
signs.
When you start to continuously monitor a patient on a device that has no patient context,
the following information message appears in the Device Status area: "Assign patient
and location."
1. In the top right corner of the screen, touch Assign.
The List tab appears.
Note When the monitor is connected to a central station, the
monitor automatically retrieves the patient list when you
navigate to the Patients tab.
2. If you see your patient's name on the patient list, select that patient entry, and then
touch Select.
The Home tab appears with patient and/or location information filled in according to
your monitor's settings.
Note If patient name or location information is missing, the
monitor will prompt you to "Assign patient" or "Assign
location" until that information is complete. You can monitor
the patient without entering all of these details.

onscreen as the device queries an external host system or
the device's Patient list for a matching ID.
