Configure movement alarms and patient turn reminder

Follow these steps to set alarm limits for patient movement.

1. Verify that you are using the Continuous Monitoring profile.
Note If “Allow profile change” is enabled in Advanced settings, the device

attempts to shift automatically to the Continuous Monitoring profile

when you connect the sensor cable.

2. Touch the

Alarms tab.

3. Touch the

Movement vertical tab.

4. Ensure that the Exit alarm and Motion alarm controls are set to ON.

Note If any parameter’s alarm limit control is set to OFF, you cannot adjust

alarm limits on the Alarm tab, and no visual or audio signals occur for

that specific parameter.

5. Adjust the following settings as desired:

•

Exit sensitivity. Use the up/down arrow keys or the keypad to choose a

sensitivity level ranging from 1 to 6. Setting 1 is the least sensitive, and

setting 6 is the most sensitive.

Note Levels 5 and 6 are highly sensitive and might trigger an alarm as a

result of minimal movement while the patient is in bed. Correct

patient assessment is the key to minimize false alerts.

•

Turn reminder. Select the desired turn schedule from the list box.

6. Touch the

Home tab.

The new alarm settings take effect immediately.
