19 Assigning a Telemetry Device and a Monitor to One Patient
266
If configured, alarms generated from a paired telemetry device can be silenced at the bedside. Either
the monitor
Silence key is configured to silence both monitor and telemetry alarms (must be
configured at the Information Center) or the
Silence Bed pop-up key will be available:
1 Select the telemetry screen element.
2 Select the Silence Bed pop-up key.
Depending on your Information Center configuration, the
Silence Bed key may silence both telemetry
alarms and bedside alarms.
WARNING
Even when the telemetry data is not visible on the screen, you may be silencing telemetry and monitor
alarms, if the Information Center and monitor are so configured.
Suspending Telemetry Alarms
When you select Pause Alarms or Alarms Off at the monitor, the alarms are off or paused for the
bedside measurements. When you switch alarms off or pause alarms at the Information Center, both
telemetry and monitor alarms are affected.
Refer to the Information Center Instructions for Use for more details on the Suspend/Pause alarms
behavior of the Information Center and telemetry device.
Using Standby
When you select Standby mode at the monitor, the bedside goes into Standby mode but the telemetry
device will continue monitoring.
Refer to the Information Center Instructions for Use for details on the Standby behavior of the
Information Center and telemetry device.
General Telemetry-related Functions
The following functions are valid for directly and indirectly connected telemetry devices.
ECG Source Tracking at the Information Center
The Information Center continuously checks whether a valid ECG signal is coming from the monitor
or the telemetry device. If you unplug the ECG patient cable from the monitor and plug it into the
telemetry device, the Information Center will automatically switch to monitoring the ECG from the
telemetry device. At the monitor, its own ECG measurement will be deactivated - the ECG Setup
menu will no longer be accessible.
When you unplug the patient cable from the telemetry device and plug it back into the monitor again,
the Information Center will switch back to monitoring the ECG from the monitor. The ECG
measurement will be activated again at the monitor. Note that in this case, as the screen switches back
to the monitor's own measurements, the SpO
2
T measurement (if present) will no longer be displayed.
In the same way the source is tracked when a telemetry device is directly connected to a monitor, then
disconnected and vice versa.
