Setting Device Types
Patients are classified as ambulatory, bedside monitored, or ventilator, depending on
whether they are connected to an ambulatory transceiver, a bedside monitoring
device, or a ventilator. Monitored parameters are different for the three types of
patient. When you define the patient’s device, the system determines the set of moni-
toring options available for the patient.
To enter or change the device type that is connected to the selected patient:
1. Press the Device button on the Patient Settings screen to display the Device
popup (fig. 35).
Fig. 35. Device popup
Note: The device types that are displayed in the popup can be selected by the sys-
tem administrator. If a device type that you need is not displayed here, then
see your system administrator for details.
2. Highlight the patient’s device type in the popup (available devices are listed
in table 7).The device type setting must match the device transmitting the
patient’s data. Otherwise, if alarms are enabled, the ??SOURCE alarm is trig-
gered.
3. Press Setup in the popup to select the highlighted device. If you change the
device type, channel settings revert to the default settings of the new device.
4. To leave the device type setting unchanged, press Exit on the popup.
