Reconnect a recently monitored patient
1. Insert a battery into the monitor to turn on the monitor. Confirm that after a few
seconds the monitor Power-Up Screen is replaced by the initial monitoring screen.
2. The monitor will then present a series of menus and messages requesting you to
provide information about the connection and patient. The actual screens presented
depend on how long the patient has been disconnected. Provide the information as
requested. This may include:
• Select an Acuity unit.
• Select a patient from the patient list.
• Select a patient room from the room list.
• To perform ECG monitoring, see “Perform ECG monitoring” on page 21.

Note
If you do not select the patient name or room while connecting the patient, you
will need to do that later at the Acuity Central Station. See “Monitor patient at
Acuity” on page 41 for more information.
