System overview
The Acuity LT Central Station receives, displays and analyzes information from various
wireless monitoring devices. The Acuity LT System CPU operates with Welch Allyn Acuity
LT System software. Patient data, alarms and equipment alerts are presented on the
display.
Network components included with the system enable connections to wireless patient
monitors and a laser printer. An external modem facilitates remote technical support.
The Welch Allyn Connectivity Server (WACS) is an option to the Wireless Acuity LT
Central Monitoring System. WACS consists of a server platform on which Welch Allyn
software options are installed. Link To Acuity
TM is a WACS option that delivers Acuity
System patient information to mobile devices running Welch Allyn Clinician Notifier
software. A hospital network can carry information to the Acuity System and carry patient
data to the hospital information system (HIS/CIS).
The system stores patient data and trend information for up to 96 hours, through the Full
Disclosure feature. The system can be expanded to support up to 28 patients: this type of
system includes a larger terminal server, a second display, and a trackball.
