Terminology
Term Definition
Locked and unlocked beds The CIC Pro center can be configured with the bed names in
either locked or unlocked mode. When locked, the bed
names are permanently assigned to specific windows.
For information about locked and unlocked beds, refer to the
CIC Pro Clinical Information Center Bedrock Hardware
Platform Service Manual.
NOTE
It is possible to admit a patient to a window with a bed
name that is locked to NONE. To avoid duplication of
patient waveforms, a window locked to NONE should
not be used to admit a patient.
Telemetry monitoring Telemetry monitoring occurs when patient vital signs data is
transmitted by a transmitter to a telemetry receiver system
over an established antenna system and viewed at a CIC
Pro center. The CIC Pro center identifies a telemetry bed by
placing an asterisk next to the bed name (e.g., IMC|BED4*).
ECG data is processed by the telemetry receiver system.
TTX ID number Each transmitter has a transmitter TTX ID number that
corresponds to a frequency and service type. The TTX ID
number is found in parenthesis on the back of the
transmitter.
When the TTX ID number is entered for a patient at the CIC
Pro center, the CIC Pro center recognizes the transmitter
type and translates the information into an alpha-numeric
number. The alpha-numeric number of the transmitter is
displayed under the ECG parameter window.
NOTE
The TTX ID number is a five digit number.
