Monitors are Used in
Different Ways
Admitting a patient to the monitor is important.
Audible alarms are off
and there will be no alarm graphs and alarm history until the monitor is in
the admit mode. The following message is displayed near the middle of the
screen to alert you to admit your patient:
ALL ALARMS OFF
ADMIT PATIENT TO ACTIVATE ALARMS
What you do to admit a patient to the monitor depends on how the monitor
is used. We have defined four ways in which the monitor is used:
STANDARD —This application uses a monitor mounted in the room. It
does not accommodate telemetry. A network connection is not required
unless you have a central station.
ROVER—With this application you can move, or ”rove,” the monitor to
the patient, rather than moving the patient to a monitored room. It
does not accommodate telemetry. A network connection is not required
unless you have a central station.
COMBO—This application provides the option to acquire ECG data
from either the monitor or from a telemetry receiver cabinet. This ECG
data acquisition capability enhances basic telemetry monitoring by
providing additional access to all of the available parameters from the
monitor. A network connection is required.
ROVER COMBO—This application combines the mobility feature of
Rover monitoring with the telemetry compatibility of Combo
monitoring. A network is required.
It is determined at the time of installation which application applies. At
that time a menu option in the service mode is used to set your monitor for
one of the above applications. The information that is necessary for
successful admission to the monitor and the network is then provided in the
Admit Menu.
