The CRIT-LINE III System
1-12
_______________________________
1.10 Internal Memory
The CLM III records data via an internal, non-volatile memory. There is enough
memory to store a total of 26 hours of dialysis sessions, or data from 170 spot-
checking and/or recirculation tests.
If there is data in the memory when the CLM III is first turned on, this data must be
erased before proceeding. The option to print or download data prior to clearing
memory is always available (See Section 3-Clearing the Memory).
Prior to returning to the MAIN MENU screen from any monitoring activity, the
CLM III determines if there is enough room in the memory to store at least five
additional hours of data. If not, it will prompt you to clear the memory (See Section
3-Clearing the Memory).
When the data is printed or downloaded, the entire contents of the memory are
printed or downloaded.
Data cannot be selectively erased. All files are deleted when clearing the memory.
WARNING: ONCE ERASED, DATA CANNOT BE RECOVERED. BE SURE
THAT PRINTING/DOWNLOADING ACTIVITIES ARE SUCCESSFUL PRIOR
TO CLEARING THE MEMORY.
Example memory configuration:
The internal memory configures the data into a
file as illustrated in the example on the left. The
header contains the date and time, while the
footer contains the patient and station ID
information.
Each patient run begins with a header and ends with a footer.
The entire data file, including all headers, footers, and data is
downloaded or printed at the same time. Each file is printed on a
separate output page.
