Directions for Use Acuity 75
Hardwired (Serial) connection to Acuity
Connect the monitor to the Acuity System
1. If the Propaq CS monitor has already been connected to the patient, save the
patient’s Trends and Alarm Limit settings by keeping the monitor turned on.
The monitor transmits up to five hours of trend information when you connect it to
the Acuity network.
If the monitor has not been connected to the patient, clear any prior patient’s trends
and alarm limit settings by turning off the monitor, then turning it on after a few
seconds.
2. If the monitor is not already connected to the patient, attach leads and sensors to the
patient as described in this manual.
3. Plug in the Acuity network cable to the Acuity network jack on the monitor side panel
as shown. Plug in the other end of the cable to the bedside Acuity network jack.
4. Connect the ac power adapter to the monitor and the wall outlet to charge the battery.
Check to see that the green battery charging light on the monitor’s right side panel is
on.
5. When the monitor completes the connection to Acuity, it displays the message ON
NETWORK (or alternating messages ON NETWORK and SERIAL if the monitor has
wireless capability). Confirm the patient identification at the bedside or enter the
patient information at the Acuity Central Station using the Patient ID Setup Window.
6. If alarm limits have not been set, do so at the monitor or at the Acuity Central Station
using the Alarms Setup Window.
Note When a Propaq CS monitor in Adult or Pediatric Mode is connected to an Acuity
System, the audible alarms at the bedside Propaq CS monitor can be delayed up
to 4 minutes and 15 seconds. The delay time is selected in Acuity software at the
time of Acuity installation. Visual alarm indications are not delayed.
