Understanding Profiles and Settings
The IntelliVue patient monitor is highly configurable. To manage its various settings, settings are grouped
into six main categories:
•Profiles
•Screens
•Monitor settings
• Measurement settings
• Global settings
• Hardware settings
All settings except hardware settings can be changed in configuration mode. Hardware settings can be
changed in service mode only (with some exceptions).
Profiles
Profiles are named combinations of the following “building blocks”:
• Patient category
•Paced status
•(Display) Screen
• Measurement Settings block
• Monitor Settings block.
A monitor can have up to 20 different Profiles.
When you load a Profile, the configured combination
of building blocks becomes active.
This provides a powerful method to easily adapt the
monitor to specific clinical scenarios or users, or
switch back and forth between different configurations depending on specific phases within a case.
Consider this example: You are in the ER. Your monitor is configured for an adult patient. Your next
patient is a 5-year old child. By switching to a predefined pediatric ER Profile, you can have appropriate
measurement settings (such as alarm limits), patient category and so forth very easily, instead of having to
alter measurements and limits individually. In this example, your monitor’s Profiles can be based on the
age and condition of your patient, but there are of course other use models.
