17.7 Renal Calculations
The monitor provides the renal calculation function and can save the results of up to 10 calculations, which are
displayed in groups.
17.7.1 Performing Renal Calculations
To perform renal calculations, follow this procedure:
1. Access renal calculation by either of the following ways:
◆ Select the Calculations quick key → select the Renal tab.
◆ Select the Main Menu quick key → from the Calculations column select Renal.
2. Enter the known values.
3. Select

lower than the normal lower limit is indicated by a down arrow “
↓”.
You can select
Range to show the normal range of each parameter.
