About This Guide

The SureStepPro Bedside Unit Operator’s Guide provides detailed instructions on using and maintaining the SureStepPro Bedside Unit. Because bedside unit settings will vary depending on how the unit is configured, you will benefit by becoming familiar with the configuration options. For more detailed information on configuration options, ask your system administrator or refer to Appendix A, Bedside Unit Configuration Options, for a list of bedside unit options configured at the workstation.
