26.2.8 Configuring the Alarm Watch Tab
The Alarm Watch feature allows the simultaneous viewing of selected alarms for up to 16 beds from a
single monitor. The System Administrator can add different locations for each monitor to watch
based on the staffing and/or departmental needs. Default alarm watch locations are managed
through the password protected System Alarm Watch tab. All configured locations are automatically
included in the monitor’s list of watched beds. Any changes made (including the initial
configuration) to the System Alarm Watch settings do not take effect until the patient is either
discharged or the patient size is changed. Any active location on the V Series central network can
be added to the watched list.
