Terminology
CAUTION
ADJUSTING WAVEFORM COLORS — For an unlocked patient
bed, the waveform color changes remain in effect until the bed is
removed from the display, discharged, or until the bed is moved to a
different location on the display. At this time, the waveform colors
return to the default settings.
For locked patient bed, the color changes remain in effect until a
user manually changes the colors. Moving or discharging a patient
bed does not return the waveform colors to the default settings.
Term Definition
Locked bedside  Bed names are permanently allocated to a particular
slot on the CIC Pro center.
 Users are unable to move the bed to another slot.
 When a telemetry patient is discharged from a locked
patient window, the message “DISCHARGED” is
displayed in the patient window.
Unlocked bedside  The bed names are temporarily allocated to a particular
slot on the CIC Pro center.
 An admitted bed can be moved to another available
slot at the CIC Pro.
 When a telemetry patient is discharged from an
unlocked patient window, an Admit button is displayed
in the patient window.
Telemetry monitoring Telemetry monitoring occurs when patient vital signs data is
transmitted by a transmitter to a telemetry receiver system
over an established antenna system and viewed at a CIC
Pro center. The CIC Pro center identifies a telemetry bed by
placing an asterisk next to the bed name (e.g., IMC|BED4*).
ECG data is processed by the telemetry receiver system.
TTX ID number Each transmitter has a transmitter TTX ID number that
corresponds to a frequency and service type. The TTX ID
number is found in parenthesis on the back of the
transmitter.
When the TTX ID number is entered for a patient at the CIC
Pro center, the CIC Pro center recognizes the transmitter
type and translates the information into an alpha-numeric
number. The alpha-numeric number of the transmitter is
displayed under the ECG parameter window.
NOTE
The TTX ID number is a four digit number.
