Welch Allyn 6000 Series Connex Vital Signs Monitor - User Manual - Manual (Page 121)

Note IPI is available for adult patients as well as three groups of
pediatric patients (1–3 years, 3–6 years, and 6–12 years), but
it is not available for neonatal/infant patients.
Note If you are monitoring a pediatric patient, the following
additional considerations apply when you select patient type:
Pediatric patients fall into one of three types based on their
age: Ped 1–3, Ped 3–6, Ped 6–12. Because these age ranges
overlap, consider details such as patient size and birth date
to select Pediatric patient type.
CAUTION The characteristics of a breath are calculated
differently for different patient types. Incorrect patient type
selections cause inaccurate monitoring of the patient's
respiration rate and affect the patient's IPI value.
7. Touch the Type list box and select patient type.
Note If you select Pediatric as a patient type, an information
message prompts you to select a pediatric age range when
you monitor IPI on pediatric patients, as shown here.
8. Touch OK.
The Home tab appears.
Note Pediatric patient subtypes appear on the Patient Summary
tab and on the Home tab as a label in the IPI frame, but they
do not appear in the Patient frame.
9. Select the patient type.
Note If you are monitoring a pediatric patient, the following
additional considerations apply when you select patient type:
Pediatric patients fall into one of three types based on their
age: Ped 1–3, Ped 3–6, Ped 6–12. Because these age ranges
overlap, consider details such as patient size and birth date
to select Pediatric patient type. These pediatric patient
subtypes appear on the Summary tab, not on the Home tab.
