WARNING
• Not all settings are synchronized; after changing the measurement source, always check that the
settings are appropriate.
• ECG: Va and Vb leads are reset to default (V2, V5) if the configured Va or Vb lead for the
telemetry device is not one of V1 through V6.
If later the patient is disconnected from the other device, and reconnected to the monitor again, any
changes in the settings made in the meantime will be passed on to the monitor. In this way, settings
continuity is preserved when the measurement source changes.
NOTE
Settings synchronization can be switched off at the monitor in Configuration mode.
In certain situations, you will be asked to confirm that synchronization of settings is appropriate.
Settings synchronization can only take place when there is no patient information mismatch between
the monitor and the Information Center.
PIIC If a Check ECG Settings or !! Check Pairing INOP appears always check that the ECG settings,
especially the paced setting, are appropriate for your patient.
PIIC iX If a Check ECG Settings, Chk SpO₂T Settings, or another check settings INOP appears, always check
that the settings, especially the paced setting for ECG, are appropriate for your patient.
Care Groups
If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, you can group bedside monitors into Care
Groups to facilitate caregiver assignment. This lets you:
• view information on the monitor screen from another bed in the same or in a different Care
Group.
• be notified of yellow or red alarm conditions at the other beds in the Care Group.
• see the alarm status of all the beds in the Care Group on each monitor screen.
The functions available with Care Groups depend on the Information Center revision your monitors
are connected to. See your Information Center Instructions for Use for further details.
Care Groups in PIIC iX
Units and Care Groups can be configured at the Information Center. The available sizes for units and
Care Groups are defined by the Information Center. Monitors can be added to or removed from an
existing care group at the monitor by assigning a new caregiver.
