Check SDM Settings and
System Readiness
Before initiating patient monitoring, ensure the current SDM
Settings/SDM Profile are appropriate for the patient, for the se-
lected measurement site (p.
20
), for the skin condition/skin
tissue perfusion at the selected measurement site and for the
specific clinical setting. At least check the patient type and the
enabled parameters as well as sensor temperature, ‘Site Time’
and alarm specific settings. Change SDM Settings/SDM Profile
if necessary. Furthermore, verify system readiness (message
‘Ready for use’) and check the ‘Available Monitoring Time’.
Note: If the connected sensor is in the Docking Station, the
‘Ready for use’ or ‘Calibration’ screen (summarizing important
system information (see below)) displays.
‘Ready for use’/‘Calibration’ screen
If the connected sensor is in the Docking Station ‘Ready for
use’ or ‘Calibration in progress’ displays in yellow big font in the
center of the ‘Ready for use’/‘Calibration’ screen.

Note: Pressing the Enter Button (p.
42
) while the ‘Ready
for use’ screen displays activates a ‘Quick Access Menu’ with
the possibility to activate additional calibrations (p.
16
), to
access the sub-menu ‘Profiles’, or to activate the V-Check™
Mode (p.
35
).
The following information is displayed in the upper area of
the ‘Ready for use’/‘Calibration’ screen:
1
Patient Type Indicator (yellow): Displays the current
patient type (Neonatal or Adult).
2
Patient Info (orange): During remote monitoring using
V-CareNeT™ (if enabled), the ‘Patient Info’ (patient name,
patient number or a comment) displayed in the corresponding
station’s ‘Remote Monitoring Window’ is duplicated on the
SDM.
Note: The ‘Patient Info’ is also duplicated in the SDM’s main
menu and – if no status message has to be displayed – in the
SDM’s status bar enclosed in ‘[ ]’.
3
Sensor Type Indicator: Displays the model/type of the
currently connected sensor.
4
Current SDM Profile indicator: Indicates the name
of the currently selected ‘Standard Profile’ (e.g. ‘SLEEP’). An
asterisk (*) next to the profile name (e.g. ‘SLEEP*’) indicates
that at least one setting of the selected ‘Standard Profile’ is
modified (only displayed when SDM is in ‘Institutional Mode’).
