patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings and trend data stored in the
X2/MP5 to the monitor. Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct.
Data Upload from an MMS
The Multi-Measurement Module stores eight hours of patient trend data at one-minute resolution. It
also stores patient demographic information and the measurement settings (including the ST baseline)
and calibration data for the measurements carried out by the MMS and any connected extensions. This
data can be uploaded to an IntelliVue patient monitor, if your monitor is configured to do so and if at
least five minutes of trend information is stored in the MMS.
Your monitor's data upload settings are defined in Configuration Mode to suit your patient transfer use
model.
How data is uploaded to the host monitor depends on the configuration mode settings

and MMS Sett. Upload.
If there is a patient mismatch and you select
Continue Monitor, no data will be uploaded from the
MMS.
Data Exchange Between Information Centers
You can transfer demographic data and trend data from one IIC to another by selecting Transfer on
the patient monitor. Trend data is not shared between Information Centers and monitors.
Resolving Patient Information Mismatch
When you connect together devices which store patient demographic data, for example:
• an MMS and a monitor,
• an X2 or MP5 and a host monitor,
• a monitor and an Information Center,
the system compares patient category, paced status, and unique patient identification in order to
synchronize this information. If configured to do so, the monitor indicates a mismatch if the
information is not identical.
Depending on your monitor's configuration, this mismatch may be automatically resolved or you may
have to resolve it manually. If your monitor is configured to resolve mismatches automatically,
depending on the configuration, either the monitor or the Multi-Measurement Module data is
automatically retained.
WARNING
1
When a monitor is connected to an Information Center by the wireless IntelliVue Instrument
Telemetry interface, the patient data will automatically be merged in the case of a transfer. This
means there is no patient discharge at the monitor and settings and trend data will be retained. You
will see a message on the monitor and the
Patient Demographics window will automatically
appear so that you can check the data and change it if necessary.
2 It is important to resolve the mismatches as soon as they are identified. Failure to do so could
result in using incorrect/confusing data to make clinical decisions. Certain settings, for example
Paced and Patient Cat., may not match between the Information Center and the monitor. If the
Paced status is set incorrectly, the system could mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm in
