Step 3: Calibrate Posture
The Posture Calibration screen appears. Select
the location where the VitalPatch biosensor was
applied:
Primary Patch position
(Top) or
Secondary Patch position
(Bottom) and select
Next
.
Next, select the patient’s body position to calibrate
posture:
•
Standing
or
Sitting
(preferred) – the patient
must stand or sit as upright as physically
capable.
•
Supine
– the patient must lie down in a supine
position as flat as physically capable.
•
Elevated
– the patient must be laying on a
bed that can be elevated, position the bed
angle at 30°. (Note that the
Elevated
posture
will only be selectable as an option if the
VitalPatch biosensor has firmware 3.2.0.0 or
higher. If the Elevated option is not available,
ensure the patient is in the Standing/Sitting or
Supine position when calibrating).
Instruct patient to remain still in body position and
select
Calibrate
.
A pop-up will display asking you to confirm that the
VitalPatch and body position selections are correct.
Select
Yes
if they are correct, and
No
to change
your selections.
After the posture is calibrated you will be prompted
to perform the body temperature calibration. Refer to
the next step.
