Removing the Monitor
Removing a monitor stops using the monitor for the current patient and frees up the monitor and all
devices assigned to that monitor.
Removing the monitor:
– clears the patient demographics in the monitor.
– erases all patient measurement data (such as trend, event, and calculation data) from the
monitor and devices assigned to the monitor. This ensures that data from a previous patient
are not mixed with data from a new patient.
– resets patient category and paced settings to the settings defined in the default Profile.
– resets all monitor and measurement settings as well as the active Screen to the settings defined
in the default Profile.
If the monitor is locked to the bed and is connected to an Information Center, the remove function is
not available and you will have to discharge the patient.
To Remove a Monitor
1 Open the Equipment window - either directly in Main Setup or by selecting the bed label in the
information line.
2 Select the monitor.
3 Select the Remove Monitor pop-up key.
