* If the device is '''removed or stopped for a few days''' and then a new device is used, a new set of entries is required to get an accurate duration for the device.

*Each item must have a partner:  for example if ETT & Vent is used "in", then you must have an ETT & Vent "out".  If any Z option is chosen, then it's "partner" must be entered.  ie if Z option ETT in is used, the you will need Z option ETT out. When you send, if the paired items are not entered for your completed pts, you will get a list of errors when you check your pre-send checker.   
*Each item must have a partner:  For example if central line "in" is an option, then central line "out" must be entered.  If it remains in after discharge then the box is ticked in the "out" option.  "Start" items must be paired with "stop" items and "in" items must be paired with "out" items.   When you send, if the paired items are not entered for your completed pts, you will get a list of errors when you check your pre-send checker.
