Viewing the Other Bed Window
The Other Bed window lets you view a subset of the waveform and numeric information from another
bed on the same network. Waves and numeric information from another bed are delayed. If
configured, Other Bed information is displayed in color, using the colors defined by the Information
Center.
The Other Bed window can be configured to popup automatically when an alarm occurs at another
bed. To avoid too many windows appearing (for example, in large care groups) and covering the
monitor’s own bed data on the screen, you can temporarily disable this automatic popup:
1 Select Main Setup > Network > Auto Window
2 Select Disabled
When automatic popup is disabled in this way, an icon will appear as a reminder in the Care Group
Overview Bar next to the monitor’s own bed label .
To open the Other Bed window,
♦ select any field in the monitor info line to enter the Setup menu, then select My CareGroup
and select the required bed, or
♦ Select the Other Patients SmartKey, if configured, and select the required bed.
The Other Bed window may be configured to display embedded in a specially designed Screen.
♦ To display the embedded Other
Bed screen element, in the
Change Screen menu, select a
Screen designed to show the
Other Bed information
permanently.
Changing the Screen may
automatically change the bed shown
in the other bed window. If you
switch to a different Screen, you
should check that the correct other bed is displayed.
