patient's data on the central monitor.
Alarms are occurring for the patient at
the patient monitor, but not at my unit's
Acuity Central Station.
Chapter 10 Troubleshooting and maintenance
Explanation
If you do not enter a patient ID number, after (up to) five minutes the Acuity
System might generate an automatic patient ID number for you.
