About Standby
When you remove the patient temporarily from the monitor, you can use the standby option to put the monitor
on standby until the patient is reconnected to the monitor. You can also use the standby option before a patient
is admitted to the monitor/patient case is started. Configure the current patient settings for the incoming patient,
then put the monitor in standby to prevent nuisance alarms or automatic discharge due to monitor inactivity.
Starting Standby
1 . Select the patient information
area on the screen.
2 . Select the Standby tab.
3 . If a patient is connected, select
Prepare for Standby to pause
audible alarms for two minutes.
This allows time to disconnect
patient cables.
If no patient is connected (no
CARESCAPE Parameters are
connected to the CS ONE),
select Standby from the
Standby tab, and the monitor
will immediately enter standby.
4 . Disconnect the patient cables
and check that NIBP Auto is
turned off.
If patient cables are still
connected and the monitor
receives vital signs, a message
indicating that audio alarms
have been paused appears.
If you do not disconnect the
cables and vital signs are still
present after the audio pause
time expires, the standby
is cancelled. You can also
cancel the standby before
the timer expires by selecting
Cancel Standby.The monitor
will automatically enter
standby when all cables are
disconnected and NIBP Auto
is turned off. The screen goes
blank and the GE logo with the
message Standby appears.

automatically when any of the
following conditions occur:
•

Parameter is connected and active
