You can customize alarm limits and levels as well as
numerous display options. Your settings can be set
up as Monitor Defaults to be recalled with each
discharge procedure. Refer to the Monitor Setup
chapter of this manual for details.
We have provided this worksheet as an optional

place to refer to your setup. You may want to make
additional copies of the worksheet for future use
