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. You can 
change some settings from a certain set of configuration and then save the changed 
configuration as a user configuration. 
 
 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:   
  Parameter configuration items 
  These items relates to parameters, e.g., waveform gain, alarm switch, alarm limits..   
  Conventional configuration items 
  These items define how the monitor works, e.g., screen layout, record, print and alarm 
settings. 
  User maintenance items 
  These items relates to user maintenance settings, e.g., unit setup, time format and data 
format. 
 
For the important configuration items and their default values and user maintenance items,
