Admit/View a Patient: About Admitting
About Admitting
Switching Transmitters
If you wish to switch to an ApexPro transmitter from a CD Telemetry-
LAN transmitter (Apex S, Apex 5, Apex 3, or CD Telemetry transmitter)
or vice versa while a patient is admitted, you must follow this procedure:
Discharge the patient (losing stored data).
Switch transmitters.
Re-admit the patient.
Monitoring will stop if you switch transmitters while a patient is
admitted. Attempting to change the TTX number for an admitted
telemetry patient at the CIC Pro will generate the message “INVALID
TTX.”
Terminology
For the purposes of this document, the following terms apply:
Telemetry Monitoring
Telemetry monitoring occurs when patient vital signs data is
transmitted by a telemetry transmitter to a telemetry receiver system
over an established antenna system and viewed at a CIC Pro. The CIC
Pro 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.
Bedside Monitoring
A bedside monitor is a stationary monitor (user-configured or factory-
configured). These monitors are connected directly to the patient via an
ECG cable. They are set up with a unit name as well as a bed name (e.g.,
IMC|BED4). For a user-configured monitor, ECG data is processed by
an acquisition module. For a factory-configured monitor, ECG data is
processed within the monitor itself.
For information about bedside monitoring at the CIC Pro, refer to the
CIC Pro Clinical Information Center Operator’s Manual.
