Setup For Use
About Setup This part of the section contains the procedure for initial setup or
configuration of the monitor. The procedure addresses use in both types
of patient monitoring system configurations:
¥ Stand-alone patient monitor: The monitor is not interconnected
to other patient monitoring system devices, and
¥ Networked patient monitor: The monitor is interconnected to
other patient monitoring system devices for the sake of sharing
patient data.
Monitor Setup
Parameters
Both configurations require some initial setup before the monitor can be
used to full potential on patients. The following is a description of each
area requiring setup or configuration:
UNIT NAME Ñ This a general identification parameter (seven
characters in length) for the monitor to establish communication
links between other devices on the network. The unit name acts as a
means of separating groups of patient monitoring devices on the
network.
BED NUMBER Ñ This is also an identification parameter (five
characters in length) for the monitor to establish communication
links between other devices on the network. The bed number acts as
a means of separating each monitor within groups of patient
monitoring devices on the network.
GRAPH LOCATION Ñ This is a setup parameter for the monitor to
establish communication links between graph devices directly
connected to the monitor or those located on the network. The graph
location must be setup or configured for each of the following types of
graphs:
¥ MANUAL GRAPH LOCATION: Where the manual graph prints,
¥ ALARM GRAPH LOCATION: Where the alarm graph prints,
and
¥ PRINT WINDOW LOCATION: Where windows (displayed by the
operator for various purposes) print.
Although information in this part of the section relates to a specific
version of software, the process generally remains similar from version to
version of software.
