Sometimes patients are assigned an ID
number that I didn’t give them. If you do not enter a patient ID number, after (up to) five minutes the Acuity
System might generate an automatic patient ID number for you.
The number is created from the room number (or for wireless monitors, part of
the serial number of the monitor), and the time.
If you want to change the ID number, see “Edit a patient ID number: add an
amended (revised) patient ID” on page 80.
A patient is being monitored with a
wireless monitor, and I can’t find the
patient’s data on the central monitor.
Alarms are occurring for the patient at
the patient monitor, but not at my unit’s
Acuity Central Station.
A network name is specified for all wireless patient monitors. If the network
name does not match the network name of your Acuity System network, the
alarms could be occurring at another Acuity System.
Contact your Biomedical Engineering department. If you are a biomedical
engineer, see
“Identify or change a monitor’s network name (ESSID)” on
page 165.
