Patient Link
The M3170 Patient Link operates as a M3150 Information Center local database without a
display. The M3170 Patient Link provides a central location for bedside recordings and
reports initiated from SDN hardwired bedsides, M2/3/4 bedsides and IntelliVue Patient
Monitors. In addition, the Patient Link provides support for bed to bed overview and alarm
reflection for M3/4 bedsides and IntelliVue Patient Monitors. Patient Link cannot be used
with Telemetry besides. Patient names are not included on the recording annotation
M3170 Patient Link does not have a clinical user interface (i.e. there is no display connected).
It does not generate alert sounds and relies on the bedside monitor for visual and auditory
alarm notification. All Clinical User Settings and Patient Settings are set to the factory
defaults and cannot be changed. The only configuration changes that can be applied are those
in the Config Wizard.
