Trends and
Calculations
Qualifying indicators (which have specific meaning) appear in the Blood
Review task window. The following list identifies and defines all
indicators used to qualify blood analysis results in the Blood Review task
window.
• A “T” next to the time indicates that the data was transferred to the
monitor using the Data Transfer module.
• A question mark beside a time (?7:15) indicates the blood
measurement occurred prior to clock changes at the bedside or
central station.
• A question mark preceding a blood measurement value (?5.0)
indicates that blood measurement has been invalidated by a user.
• A question mark standing alone in a blood measurement field (?)
indicates that no valid result could be derived from the sensor
signals.
• The ' symbol at the beginning of the blood measurement label
('BEecf) indicates the measurement has been calculated by the
blood analysis module.
• The “&” symbol before a label (e.g. &PCO2) indicates the
measurement has been adjusted to the patient's temperature.
• The > symbol preceding a blood measurement value (>3.0) indicates
the value is greater than the upper limit of the reportable range.
• The < symbol preceding a blood measurement value (<3.0) indicates
the value is less than the lower limit of the reportable range.
If configured to “Enabled” in the Blood Analysis configuration task
window, O2*, the Free Fields (Field1, Field2, and Field3), and Operator ID
of the person performing the blood measurement appear after the last
measurement (in the order listed).

Ranges
You can compare an adult arterial/venous blood result value against a
corresponding adult arterial/venous blood reference range. The blood
results on the Blood Review task window can be within the reference
range or outside the reference range. You can view reference ranges by
selecting the
key on the Blood Review task window
display. The reference ranges correspond to the rightmost time displayed
in the Blood Review task window. The reference range information that
appears corresponds to the last measurement. The out of range indication
refers to the reference range at the time of the measurement.
