5 Managing Configurations
5.1 Introduction
When performing continuous monitoring on a patient, the clinical professional often needs
to adjust the monitor’s settings according to the patient’s condition. The collection of all
these settings is called a configuration. Allowing you to configure the monitor more
efficiently, the monitor offers different sets of configuration to suit different patient
categories and departments. You can change some settings from a certain set of
configuration and then save the changed configuration as a user configuration.
The default configurations provided for your monitor are department-oriented. You can
choose either from:
General
OR
ICU
NICU
CCU
Each department has three different sets of configurations tailored for adult, pediatric and
neonatal patients.
WARNING
z The configuration management function is password protected. The configuration
management tasks must be performed by clinical professionals.
The system configuration items can be classified as:
Global configuration items
These items can affect all the monitor settings. Most global configuration items, such as
monitor name, system time, etc., can be set in maintenance mode. The global configuration
items that need to be set in configuration mode include default patient category, whether to
load the selected configuration at startup, etc., which are usually displayed on the system
configuration-main screen.
Parameter configuration items
These items relates to parameters, e.g., waveform gain, alarm switch, alarm limits..
