Information Centers associated with the Unit group, and select another Information Center to view.

My Patients window,
• select the
Other Patients SmartKey, if configured, or
•in the
Main Setup menu, select My Patients.
Use the
My Patients pop-up keys to navigate through the Care Groups:

Center to see a list of the monitors connected to it. Select any monitor to see the Other Patient
window for that bed.

Viewing the Other Bed Window
The Other Bed window lets you view a subset of the waveform and numeric information from another
bed on the same network. Waves and numeric information from another bed are delayed. If
configured, Other Bed information is displayed in color, using the colors defined by the Information
Center.
The Other Bed window can be configured to pop-up automatically when an alarm occurs at another
bed. To avoid too many windows appearing (for example, in large care groups) and covering the
monitor's own bed data on the screen, you can temporarily disable this automatic pop-up:
1 Select Main Setup then Network followed by Auto Window
2 Select Disabled
When automatic pop-up is disabled in this way, an icon will appear as a reminder in the Care Group
Overview Bar next to the monitor's own bed label . Depending on the configuration, the
automatic pop-up is disabled for five minutes or until you set it to
Enabled again.
• To open the Other Bed window, select the required bed label or patient name in the Alarm Status
Overview Bar. If you are in a Unit Group with many beds, the
My Patients window may open for
you to select the bed.
