central station in Advanced settings. Furthermore, in all profiles but Triage (see Note),
patients can be added to a patient list on the monitor and then sent to the central station,
and patient lists also can be retrieved from a central station. In the Intervals Monitoring
and Spot Check profiles, retrieving the patient list requires user action. In the Continuous
Monitoring profile, the patient list on the monitor updates automatically when the
monitor is connected to the central station. In all profiles, once you assign a patient to a
monitor and send this information to the central station, you can only change this
information at the central station—not on the monitor.
Note The Triage profile does not include a Patients tab and therefore does not
provide a patient list.
If a monitor loses its connection to the central station, the device continues to monitor
the patient, display patient data, and generate alarms and messages. When connectivity
is restored, the monitor resumes sending vital-signs trends and episodic data.
Monitor tab
The Monitor tab provides the following controls related to continuous patient monitoring
at the device and the streaming of patient vital-signs data to a central station:
•
End Monitoring – Stop continuous monitoring on the current patient and clear patient
data on the device.
• Standby – Pause continuous monitoring as well as alarms for a specified period and
retain patient data on the device.
• Connect to central station – Manually connect to a central station and start or
resume the streaming of patient vital-signs data when the device does not connect
automatically.
• Disconnect from central station – Manually disconnect the device from a central
station yet continue monitoring the patient and retain patient vital-signs data on the
device. This control is only available after connecting to a central station.
The sections which follow provide instructions for using these controls.
Note
This tab is visible only when the Continuous Monitoring profile is active. It
is not available in the Triage, Spot Check, or Intervals Monitoring profiles.
