ZOLL E Series Monitor Defibrillator Rev R - Manual (Page 127)

9650-1210-01 Rev. R B-1
APPENDIX B
MEDICAL REPORT CAPABILITY
The unit's medical report capability automatically records
incident information for subsequent review and archiving.
Data is stored on a removable PCMCIA Type II data card
(memory card) for uploading to a properly equipped
personal computer or hand held device.
The medical report capability begins recording when the
unit is turned on and continues until the unit is turned off.
Patient ECG, unit status, date, time and control settings
are recorded. Audio recording using a microphone
located on the front of the unit is optional.
Data recorded during an incident is retained on the
memory card until erased. Shutting the unit off with the
memory card installed or removing the memory card
from the unit does not erase the data.
PCMCIA Data Card
The memory card is a self-contained, electronic storage
unit similar to a floppy disk.
• Do not subject the card to extreme temperatures.
• Do not immerse the card in liquids.
• Do not place the card near magnetic objects.
• Do not place heavy objects on the card.
• Protect the connector located on the card from
physical damage.
Contact ZOLL Technical Service Department for the
current list of supported PCMCIA cards.
You can store up to two hours of incident data (ECG and
unit status) or up to 38 minutes of incident data and
simultaneous audio recording on one 4-megabyte
memory card. The E Series can also be configured to
record the continuous SpO
2
waveform and/or the
continuous EtCO
2
waveform. Overall recording time on a
4 Mb memory card is reduced by approximately 20
minutes when recording SpO
2
waveform data, and by 12
minutes when recording EtCO
2
waveform data. ZOLL
recommends that you keep a spare memory card with
the unit at all times and that you change the memory
card after each incident.
Installing the PCMCIA Data Card
Check that there is no physical damage to the connector
edge and that the connector edge is clean and free of dirt
and debris. Insert the memory card into the right rear slot
located on the top of the unit. The label side should be
facing you. Slide the card into the unit until it is firmly
seated in the card slot.
Note: Closing the PCMCIA slot’s protective cover does
not guarantee that the card is fully inserted. Make
sure the card is firmly seated before you close the
cover.
To remove the card, press the release button and pull the
card out of the unit. If the memory card is removed while
the unit is on, the unit still operates properly but no event
information is recorded.
Erasing a Memory Card
If the unit is configured to allow card erasure, memory
cards can be erased. See the E Series Configuration
Guide for further details on the ALLOW CARD ERASE
configuration option.
To erase card memory:
1. Turn off the unit.
The unit must remain turned off for at least
10 seconds.
2. Hold down the left-most softkey for 4 seconds while
turning selector switch to MONITOR (ON for AED).
The E Series powers on in System Utilities mode.
3. Press the Erase Cards softkey.
4. Press the Next Item softkey to select YES.
5. Press the Enter softkey.
The E Series unit erases the card and displays the
ERASING CARD message. A progress bar appears
while erasing the card. Next, the unit verifies the card
to ensure that the card was properly erased. During
this verification, a new progress bar and the message
VERIFYING CARD appears. When the card is
completely verified, the CARD ERASED message is
displayed.
The unit can be turned off, or the card removed,
during the verification phase without affecting either
the card or the unit. ZOLL strongly recommends that
cards be verified again after erasure to ensure
against possible data loss or corruption.
If the No Card Inserted message displays, insert a
PCMCIA into the card slot. If the Card Operation
Failed message displays, the card is damaged. In
this case you should either:
•
Press the Enter softkey to erase another card.
