Ultraview Care Network
2-8
If multiple alarms occur simultaneously, the messages displayed cycle from one to
another every 3-seconds (up to a maximum of ten alarms) until all alarm
conditions are resolved, or until you disable alarms at either the local monitor
(through Remote View) or the remote monitor.
To resume Alarm Watch, touch the ALARM WATCH or ALARM WATCH ENABLE
(on the UCW and Ultraview 1700) key. Alarm Watch is resumed for all previously
selected patients. You can also add patients for Alarm Watch. The ALARM
WATCH ON message displays in the message zone whenever one or more
remote beds are selected for Alarm Watch from that local monitor.
If your hospital protocol requires remote monitoring of all alarms, you can activate
Alarm Watch during the setup of your bedside or central monitors. Alarm Watch
remains ON as long as you do not power down the monitor. Refer to Power
Failure on page 1-4 for further information.
Alarm Watch Rotation
On some monitors, your system administrator can configure the Alarm Watch
feature to rotate the visible active alarms through the Alarm Watch display zone
on the screen. Active alarms being monitored will rotate in and out of the display
zone at an interval set by your system administrator. The Alarm Watch rotation
time, signal tone, and rotation algorithm are set in the ALARM WATCH SETUP
menu, accessed by touching the PRIVILEGED ACCESS key.
ROTATE ALARM WATCH — enables the system administrator to turn the
rotation of alarms ON or OFF. If you select OFF, the ALARM WATCH ROTATION
and the ROTATION TIME options are unavailable.
ALARM WATCH ROTATION — enables the system administrator to select either
a rotation system allowing the higher priority alarms to rotate into the window
more often (Priority) or a simple rotation system allowing all alarms equal time in
the rotation regardless of the alarm priority.
ROTATION TIME — selects the interval between rotations in the Alarm Watch
window.
WARNING:
• Using the Alarm Watch feature, you can watch for alarms
from 32 other monitors. However, more than ten remote
alarms cannot be reported simultaneously to any monitor
using the Alarm Watch feature.
• Remote View and Alarm Watch are mutually exclusive
features on bedside monitors. If you select to Remote View
a parameter the Alarm Watch feature at that monitor is
inactivated.
