Note
Patient movement, Respiration rate, and Pulse rate
measurements taken by EarlySense are displayed in the
Movement, RR, and Pulse rate frames, respectively. Each
frame remains blank until the sensor acquires its first
measurements, which could take approximately 1 to 2
minutes. After the sensor detects a patient, an initial set of
measurements appears in the associated frames.
Note
EarlySense alarms occur only after a good initial
measurement.
Low confidence condition
After receiving a valid set of measurements for a specific patient, a low confidence
condition occurs whenever the EarlySense module loses or has difficulty acquiring a
signal. During low confidence conditions, a process indicator replaces the
previous reading in the Respiration rate (RR) and/or Pulse rate frames and remains in the
frame until the sensor acquires a valid measurement.
Note
A low confidence condition that persists beyond 3 minutes triggers a
technical alarm.
