Alarm and information messages
The Device Status area provides alarm and information messages that are either
temporary or exist as long as the condition to which the message applies remains. Alarm
or information messages may also include controls or behavior that you can use to
manage alarm and information messages.
When the monitor detects an alarm condition, the vitals frame relating to the alarm
flashes and an alarm message appears. When multiple alarms occur, the highest priority
message appears first. You can cycle through each alarm message by touching the
multiple alarm toggle.
Information messages instruct you to interact with the monitor in a specific way or
provide information that does not require action. You can dismiss an information
message by selecting the control associated with the message or waiting for the
message to time out.
Screen lock mode
The screen lock blocks the display of patient information and prevents any input, which
may be useful when cleaning the display.
The screen locks when any of the following occur:
•
You touch Display lock.
• There is no interaction with the monitor for the period specified in the Settings tab.
An authorized person can access the Advanced Settings tab to set or change the
time specified for the screen lock to be triggered.
Lock the screen
Follow these steps to touch the screen without activating the controls.
1.
Touch the battery icon in the Status area or touch the Settings tab.
2. Touch the Device vertical tab.
3. Touch Display lock.
The screen can also be configured to automatically lock after a pre-determined time of
inactivity. See “Configuration Settings” for further directions.
Unlock the screen
If a Clinician ID login format has been configured for your site, follow the
steps below. Otherwise, simply touch the lock icon to unlock the screen.
1.
Using the barcode scanner or keypad, enter your ID or scan your ID and password.
2. Follow the onscreen prompts to unlock the screen.
A user logs on to the device, by either scanning or manually entering their ID and
password. When a new user attempts to log onto the device, a dialog box appears:
"Would you like to log the current user, XXX, out?"
If the new user selects No, then the initial user remains logged on. The new user can
use the device, but the initial user is shown as logged on. If the new user selects OK,
then the initial user is logged out, and the new user is logged on and taken to the Home
screen.
