Chapter 1 General information
Welch Allyn Micropaq Monitor
Visual alarm indicator
Audible alarm indicator
Beeps to indicate a patient alarm, and beeps faster for life-threatening arrhythmia
alarms (see
”Patient alarm and equipment alert specifications”
Beeps to indicate when the equipment needs attention. This beep tone is slower than
patient alarm tones (see
”Patient alarm and equipment alert specifications”
Volume can be configured as high, low, or off (configured at Acuity).
Volume can be configured differently for network connection or stand-alone operation
(configured at Acuity).
Snapshot key
When connected to Acuity, pressing this key sends a snapshot of the patient’s
numeric and waveform data to the Acuity Central Monitoring System. Depending on
how Acuity is configured, this will cause Acuity to print a 21-second snapshot (14
seconds of history, 7 seconds of data after the button is pressed) to the Acuity central
station printer.
Scroll Up key and Reset Patient Alarm Tone key
Scrolls up menus on the display.
Resets a silenced patient alarm tone.
Green
Flashes slowly during normal operation.
Red
Flashes during patient alarm, remains on continuously when alarms are
silenced or suspended.
Yellow
Flashes during an equipment alert or while not connected to the network.
Remains on continuously if the operator suspends an alert at Acuity for 90
seconds or acknowledges (dismisses) a low battery alert from the monitor
or Acuity.
Note
The flashing green LED indicates that the monitor is connected to the network
but not necessarily connected to a patient. If the monitor is actively monitoring a
patient, the green LED indicates no alarms or alerts are detected.
Note
Snapshot is the default selection of the monitor. However, the connected
monitor will inherit the configuration previously defined by Acuity. For example,
if Acuity has defined the Snapshot key to respond with a Nurse Call function and
a new monitor is introduced to the system, the Snapshot key definition will
remain as Nurse Call.
