Handling Events
Introduction
This chapter provides information about the Events. It provides a detail description of alarming events, the
devices that triggered the events and information about responding to the specific events.
Events
An event is an action that occurs in the software that requires a response from an authorized user. When an
event occurs, a message is displayed in the Event List indicating the relevant device, the patient’s or asset’s
name when applicable, and the type of event received.
Click anywhere in the Alarm Message Box to access more information about the event and to select a cause
for the event, if applicable, from the Event Information window. These event causes are then logged into the
applicable reports. For information about reporting, see Chapter 5, Using System Reports.
WARNING: The Series 6.0 Software is designed and intended to work in
conjunction with a facility’s overall patient security program, including
reasonable operating policies and procedures. The Series 6.0 Software, by
itself, cannot prevent abductions or elopements.
