Select the Other Patients SmartKey or the Other Bed window or embedded screen element to access
the associated pop-up keys:
Next Wave lets you view waveforms not currently shown in the other bed window.
More Vitals lets you view more numerics not currently shown in the other bed window.
Next Patient lets you view waveforms and numerics from the next available patient in the Care
Group.
My Patients lets you call up the Care Group window to select another patient.
Alarming Beds lets you view a list of all beds in your care group with an unacknowledged alarm.
The beds are listed in order of alarm severity. With PIIC iX, the
Alarming Beds window may also
contain beds that are not in your Care Group that have been escalated for higher attention.
Silence Bed lets you silence active alarms at the other bed. (Whether you see this key depends on
the revision and configuration of the Information Center your monitors are connected to.)
WARNING
The Silence Bed pop-up key in the Other Bed window silences alarms at a remote bed. Be aware that
accidental use of this key could silence alarms for the wrong patient.
To silence own bed alarms use the Silence permanent key on screen.
Visual Alarm Status Information in the Other Bed Window
Other Patient Alarms
Changes in the alarm status of beds in a Care Group are announced visually and audibly at all other
beds in the same Care Group. The visual and audible indicators used depend on the monitor and
Information Center configuration.
When an alarm is detected at another bed in the Care Group,
• the alarm status is shown in the Alarm Status overview bar as an icon.
• a message informing you about the other patient alarm is shown in the monitor status line.
• If individual measurement alarms are switched off at any of the devices in use at the
other bed, a crossed alarm symbol in red on a white background is shown beside the
measurement numeric.
• If all alarms are switched off or paused for one of the devices in use at the other bed,
a crossed alarm symbol on a black background is shown beside all affected
measurement numerics (if so configured). If all red and yellow alarms are switched
off/paused, the crossed alarm symbol is red. If only yellow alarms are switched off/
paused, the crossed alarm symbol is yellow.
• In the embedded Other Bed window, the crossed speaker symbol in the upper right
hand corner indicates that the volume of the audible alarm status change notification
for the other beds in the care group is set to zero at the overview monitor.
