Large Icu - Philips M3150B Installation And Service Manual

Large ICU

The next example is a large, 20-bed ICU with intensive monitoring requirements for all
patients and the ability to transfer up to 4 patients to telemetry. See Figure 4-3.
Equipment required for this installation is the following:
•
•
•
•
The hardwired bedside and telemetry monitors are assigned to specific Information Centers.
In Figure 4-3, 10 bedside and 2 telemetry monitors are assigned to Information Center #1 and
10 bedside and 2 telemetry monitors to Information Center #2, although other combinations
are possible.
This Patient Care Network can be expanded to 32 patients by adding a 4 patient upgrade
Option #C44 to each Information Center. For more than 24 patient monitors (hardwired +
telemetry), however, a second SCC is required. Additional telemetry monitoring capability
can also be obtained by adding telemetry monitors and mainframes to the SCCs.
Note Assignment of hardwired monitors to specific Information Centers is recommended because
data for patients are stored on specific Information Centers and patients cannot be transferred
between Information Centers.
20 beds, each with a hardwired bedside patient monitor
4 telemetry monitors on one telemetry mainframe
2 Information Centers, each with 12 patient (Option #A12) and full alarm and wave
review capability
