I. Monitoring with Wireless Network (from Acuity SW 6.4 to present)
1. Your monitor should automatically display an antenna symbol,
network connection.
2. After the monitor is connected to the network, the following data must be completed at the
monitor: Patient name, Patient ID, Room #
3. If you did not specify the patient information at the monitor before network connection, the
monitor will present a series of menus and messages requesting the information. For example:
Select an Acuity Unit
Select a patient from the patient list
Select a patient room from the patient list
4. Patient out of network:
A DROPOUT equipment alert occurs at the Acuity Central Station
An equipment alert occurs at the monitor with the message "Acuity Connection Lost" – press
Select to acknowledge this alert
When the patient returns within range of the network, the monitor automatically reconnects to
the network
5. Disconnect from the Network:
Highlight the wireless status symbol,
Scroll to highlight Disconnect, then press Select and confirm your selection to disconnect
6. Reconnect a Recently Monitored Patient to the Network
Highlight the wireless status symbol, then press Select
The monitor will want the user to provide information-Acuity unit, patient name, room #. This is
a user responsibility!!
J. Configurator Options:
The monitor can be configured in the following ways:
1. Each facility can define a custom default configuration for its monitors so that the monitors
conform to the local requirements.
2. Clinicians can temporarily adjust settings to meet the needs of individual patients. While
monitoring a patient, you can temporarily adjust many of the monitor settings to accommodate
the needs of a specific patient. These patient-specific settings persist until they are changed
manually or by Acuity or until the monitor is powered down and then powered up to monitor a
different patient.
3. When a wireless monitor is in communication with an Acuity Central Station, Acuity imposes
several monitor settings to assure conformance and consistency among all monitors on the
network. These settings override the factory configuration, the default configuration, and any
temporary patient-specific settings.
When the monitor comes into communication with the Acuity Central Station, Acuity uploads values
to the monitor for the following parameters:
NOTE: The Acuity-defined configuration persists until the monitor moves out of range of the Acuity network
or until the monitor is powered down and powered up.
