Introduction Patient Management
6 - 2 V Series Operating Instructions
6.1 Introduction
The V 12/V 21 comes with default factory settings which enable a clinician to begin monitoring
without setting any of the waveforms, parameters, alarms, or functions. However, all of these settings
can be changed for specific patient or departmental needs.
NOTE: Certain operating characteristics are based on the selected patient size
(e.g. NIBP start pressure). Match the patient size selection to the actual
patient before monitoring begins.
