Ultraview Care Network monitors provide a consistent operator interface across
all bedside and central monitoring environments. Monitors installed on a network
provide access from monitor to monitor and enable you to control the remote data.
Networked monitors enable you to view waveforms and numeric values of patient
parameters, review vital sign and ECG arrhythmia and ST history, and record
patient data automatically during alarm events. Refer to Network Basics on
page 1-8 for more information.
• Central stations display patient specific parameters, remote alarms, and
alarm limits that are based on the setting of the bedside as determined by the
primary caregiver. Refer to Central Monitors on page 6-3 for detailed
information on the system capabilities.
• The Remote View feature enables you to monitor two patients
simultaneously. Remote views of waveforms and numerics are nearly
identical in display and function to the parameter at the originating monitor.
Alarms, trends, menu keys, and recordings are accessible through a Remote
View. Refer to Viewing Remote Parameters on page 1-9 and Alarms on page
2-3 for more information.
• The Full Bed Review feature enables you to view multiple parameters on a
UCW and Ultraview 1700 bedside monitor from any other bedside or central
monitor on the network. Refer to Full Bed Review - UCW and Ultraview 1700
Only on page 1-11 for more information.
• The Alarm Watch feature notifies you when an alarm occurs on any other
monitor on the network. Refer to Alarm Watch on page 2-7 for more
information.
• Vital signs trending provides minute-by-minute recording of parameter data
for review and for documentation in the patient record. You select the format
and interval for trending. Refer to Trends on page 26-3.
• Optional calculations features provide automatic calculation and trending of
advanced clinical variables including hemodynamic, renal, oxygenation,
ventilation calculations, and drug dosage. Refer to Calculations on page
