Modifying Alert Thresholds

When beginning to monitor a new patient, it is advisable to set patient specific alert

thresholds. If relevant for a specific patient, Bed Exit alert sensitivity or duration and

Patient Turn interval should be set from the relevant section in the home screen next to

each function setting (see pages. 44 and 45). To change the default HR and RR

thresholds:

1. Touch the upper or lower thresholds in the HR or RR boxes in the Home screen

2. Touch the down-pointing arrow to lower the threshold or the up-pointing arrow

to raise the threshold (Figure 21)

3. When you reach the desired threshold touch the number displayed, or wait.
