Monitor configuration
Overview
The monitor can be configured in various ways.
Each facility can define as many default configurations as required to both meet the
needs of individual departments and units and to conform to the facility’s general
methods and standards.
•
Each time the patient mode is changed, the monitor settings return to the default
configuration settings for that patient mode.
•
Each time the monitor is turned on, the clinician chooses either to retain the most
recently used temporary, patient-specific settings or to reset the monitor to its
default configuration.
Clinicians can use the monitor buttons to customize settings to meet the needs of
individual patients. These custom settings can be
•
discarded when the monitor is turned off and then restarted.
•
retained when the monitor is turned off and then restarted.
•
saved as the new default configuration for the monitor.
When a wireless monitor is in communication with an Acuity Central Station, Acuity
imposes several monitor settings to assure conformance and consistency among all
monitors on a network. These settings override the factory configuration, the default
configuration, and any temporary patient-specific settings. If the monitor power is cycled
while the monitor is no longer in communication with Acuity, the monitor powers up with
the default configuration or with the custom settings for the previously monitored patient.
About factory configuration
When the monitor arrives from the factory, it is fully configured and ready for operation.
The factory configuration defines every setting and behavior for the monitor. Each
setting and behavior defined in the factory configuration remains in effect until it is
changed by a custom configuration or by a temporary adjustment. Unless the factory
configuration is replaced by a custom configuration, the factory settings and behaviors are
restored to the monitor each time the monitor is powered up and Start New Patient is
selected.
Note
If you change alarm limits while monitoring a patient, you can make these
changes either temporary or permanent. See
