Watching Alarms Remotely -
Alarm Watch
With the network Alarm Watch function enabled you will be notified of all alarms at
all monitors. Once a monitor has been set up to Alarm Watch a bed, any alarm
from that bed is reported.
Refer to Alarm Watch on page 2-7 for more information.
Viewing Remote Parameters
Each parameter on a bedside monitor can be independently viewed (Remote
View) on any other bedside or central monitor on the network. Remote views of
parameters can be identical in display and function to the local bedside, with the
addition of the patient name and bed identification label.
If enabled by your system administrator alarms and menu keys operate the same
at the remote monitor as they do at the local bedside.
Bedside monitors can have parameters remotely viewed by up to 16 other
devices.
Remotely viewed parameters occupy the lowest zone on the screen of a bedside
monitor. On the central monitor each remote parameter is assigned a specific
display position. Every Remote View zone is separated from other zones by a
dividing line.
WARNING:
• The Alarm Watch function is not automatically enabled.
You must first select the bed that the central or bedside
monitor should Alarm Watch.
• Alarm conditions for parameters not currently displayed on
the central monitor will only be reported at a central
monitor when Alarm Watch is enabled at the central
monitor.
!
• Your network protocol may not enable you to make remote
alarm limit changes or to remotely control a parameter. If you
have a question regarding this function, ask your system
administrator.
