Vital Signs and Graph Trends are not functional during a transfer of data
from the Philips M1235A Data Transfer Module to the monitor.
Trending
Priority
Trending priority enables you to specify which parameters will be
trended. This is done by assigning a “must” status to parameters in the
Trending Priority Task Window. Initially, parameters which have been
stable for at least one minute are listed with a priority of “normal”. A
maximum of 16/32
1
musts can be chosen. Each parameter requires one
must, except for multi-valued parameters, where each value in the multi-
valued parameter requires one must.
“Musts” will be trended if the parameter is being monitored. After
“musts”, normal parameters are trended until the maximum of 16/32
1
is
reached. Parameters which are currently being trended are identified by
an asterisk (*). If a “must” parameter is not currently being monitored,
trend(s) will be reserved for it until you change the priority back to
normal.
Note—Parameters are displayed in descending priority.
Multi-valued parameters, such as all pressures, are treated differently
from single-valued ones. A multi-valued parameter will not be trended
unless a trend is available for each value within the parameter. Thus, for
example, a CVP trend would require three available musts.
Data from devices connected to the monitor via the M1032A VueLink
module can be trended and used in calculations.

Blood Mea-
surements
Once blood analysis results have been transmitted in the Blood Analysis
task window (or automatically if configured), you can view a summary of
those results in the Blood Review task window. The Blood Review task
window contains only Blood Analysis module parameters. No other
parameters appear.
Note—If your system is configured for mandatory Operator ID entry, you
will not be able to access blood analysis results until you have entered an
Operator ID.
