Custom scoring
WARNING Risk to patient safety. Custom scores and messages serve as
guides to your facility's protocols; do not subsitute custom scores for
patient physiological alarms. Appropriate alarms settings must be set
and maintained to ensure patient safety.
Custom scoring enables you to configure specific parameters, based on your institution’s
practice standards, that calculate a score(s) for patient monitoring. This score(s)
generates a message(s) regarding the patient status, based on the parameters chosen.
These messages are provided only as reminders.
Configurable parameters can be accessed on the Home tab by touching Height/
Weight/Pain/RR.

Patient movement
Monitors configured with the EarlySense™ module continuously monitor patient
movement, as well as Respiration rate (RR) and Pulse rate if licensing is enabled for
these functions.
Note Respiration rate and Pulse rate measurements taken by the EarlySense
module are displayed in the RR and Pulse rate frames, respectively. The
frame remains blank until the sensor acquires its first measurements,
which could take 1 to 2 minutes. After the initial measurement, a process
indicator appears in the frame if a lost or low signal condition occurs. Lost
or low signal conditions that last more than 3 minutes trigger an alarm. See
the Respiration rate and Pulse rate sections of this directions for use for
more information.
