Monitoring in communication with Acuity
Welch Allyn Propaq LT Vital Signs Monitor
About Acuity message menus
When the monitor first establishes communication with Acuity and the clinician selects to
start a new patient, the monitor presents a series of screens to determine the location
(unit and room number) and the name and ID number of the monitored patient. If the
patient is already known to Acuity, you can select the identifying information from a series
of lists. If the patient is new to Acuity, you provide the information.
If the clinician is continuing to monitor the same patient, these Acuity message menus
are not presented.
First, the monitor displays a list of units. Highlight the unit for this patient and press
.

The monitor then displays a list of patients.
Caution Do not leave a wireless monitor that is turned on outside of its wireless
communication area for more than four hours.
If your facility has unusual clinical workflows that require wireless devices to be
off of the network for extended periods, do one or more of the following:
•
Extend the wireless coverage area to include areas where devices stay for
longer periods of time. For example, include wireless coverage in the Post
Cardiac Cath, X-Ray, and MRI areas.
•
When a monitor moves to a stand-alone environment, configure the device
in the stand-alone mode. This disables the radio card for use in the
stand-alone work environment.
•
Before removing monitors from a wireless coverage area, disconnect them
from the wireless infrastructure. Propaq LT monitors include this software
feature for clinicians.
Note
Some of these menus can contain lists that are too long to fit on the screen. To
view or highlight list items that are not on the screen, press
or
repeatedly
as needed scroll the list.
