    Directions for Use Monitoring in communication with Acuity Monitoring a patient outside of network range Monitors are typically deployed in an active wireless network environment where devices continually communicate with a central station. These monitors occasionally leave the wireless coverage area during transport to a procedure room (for example, a trip to X-ray). When a monitor goes outside of the network range, monitoring continues locally.
