automatic connection to the central station in Advanced settings. Furthermore, in all
profiles but Triage (see Note), you can add patients to a patient list on the monitor and
then send them to the central station, and you can also retrieve patient lists 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.
Note The Triage profile does not include a Patients tab and therefore does not
provide a patient list.
Once you assign a patient to a monitor and send this information to the central station,
you can edit patient information on the monitor as noted in the following table:
Editable patient information based on profile
and central station communication
Patient ID Patient name Patient
location
Patient type
Spot Check and Intervals profiles X X X X
Continuous Monitoring profile, communicating with
the central station
X X
Continuous Monitoring profile, not communicating
with the central station
X X X
Note In many cases, changing patient information opens an onscreen dialog
asking you to confirm the action. These dialogs appear whenever the action
results in clearing patient measurement data or patient context.
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.
• Pause – Pause continuous monitoring as well as alarms for a specified period and
retain patient data on the device.
• Change pause interval – Increase or decrease the pause interval in 15 minute
increments up to 2 hours.
• 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.
