Continuous patient monitoring
Your device must be configured with the Continuous Monitoring profile to perform
continuous patient monitoring.
Key terms
Patient context Condition in which a patient ID and patient type have been selected on a device.
Location context Condition in which a room or a room and bed have been selected on a device.
You have the option to continuously monitor patients on the device alone (primary
monitoring) or to stream continuous patient data to a central station as well (secondary
monitoring).
If Continuous Monitoring has been configured as the default profile, then the device
starts up in this profile. If the Continuous Monitoring profile is active, you can proceed
with an existing patient and/or location context, or you can assign a patient and location.
Activate the Continuous Monitoring profile
If the Continuous Monitoring profile is not active, follow these steps:
1. Touch the Settings tab.
2. Touch the Device tab.
The Profile vertical tab appears.
3. Select Continuous Monitoring.
When neither patient nor location context are established and no patient
measurements have been taken or saved, the Continuous Monitoring profile
immediately becomes active. If these conditions do not apply, proceed to step 4.
4. Using the conditions presented in boldface text, select and follow the steps below
that apply to your patient and the device.
a. When patient and/or location context are established but no patient
measurements have been taken or saved:
A confirmation dialog appears asking you to confirm the patient and/or location
context information or select a new patient. For example, if both patient and
location context have been established, the following options appear:
• Same patient, same location
• Same patient, different location
• New patient
Select the desired option and touch OK.
b. When patient and/or location context are established and patient
measurements have been taken or saved:
A confirmation dialog appears with the following message: "Changing to the
Continuous Monitoring profile deletes all measurement data from the device.
Continue anyway?"
1. Touch Yes to confirm or No to cancel the profile change.
