(optional)
The Device Location Client application is an optional software application that
allows you to display and locate devices visually, using Floor Plans associated
with your hospital’s layout. Device location history is also available. The
application is accessible using a separate PC’s web browser. For additional
installation information, see the IntelliVue Device Location Installation Guide.
WarningWarning
Because the coverage range of Access Points can sometimes overlap,
including different floor levels, the IntelliVue Device Location feature is not
intended for use when attempting to locate a patient.

Locating
Devices
The left side of the Client display screen contains a list of clinical units
associated with the current Floor Plan. Each unit contains a list of bed labels.
You view the beds listed within a unit by clicking on the plus sign next to the
unit name.
Note—The beds listed are only those equipped with IntelliVue telemetry
devices.
To identify and locate the telemetry device associated with the bed, simply click
on the desired bed label. The floor plan and the status bar above the floor plan
image now display the location of the device. Additionally, the status bar lists
the Access Point the device is currently associated with.
