Setting Up ReDS System
37
The procedure for placing and positioning the Sensor Vest on the patient and taking a
measurement uses a guided wizard.
NOTE:
You can move directly to the
Verification
screen from the
Patient Details
screen
(see Figure 20), and skip the intermediate steps in the wizard. To do so, tap the
Skip Instructions button in the
Patient Details
screen. Then, enter and verify
patient values in the
Verification
screen.
CAUTIONS:
When considering whether to use the ReDS System, take the following patient-related
considerations into account:
1. Physical deformities in the thorax area that may prevent application or correct
adjustment of the sensor vest.
2. Recent surgery in the torso area.
3. Surgical wounds, healing tissue or recent skin grafts or flaps on the thorax.
4. Burns, open wounds or skin infections on the thorax.
Pay attention to the sensor vest cable in order to avoid entanglement, strangulation
or pulling the Bedside Console.
