clears the BP, Pulse, Temperature and SpO 2 and enables you to enter new vital signs
readings.
After vital sign measurements are entered, click the Review Vital Signs button to

well as on a user defined graph.
The following table provides a brief description of the function for each field. Fields that

the Vital Signs tab can be found in the Diagnostic Workstation Operation Manual.
