Philips Patient Care System

Philips Patient Care System

The Philips Patient Care System is a network which transports information. If your system is connected to such a monitoring network you can send information to other systems or central stations, and receive information from them.

One aspect of this information transmission capability is called Other

Patients.

The Other Patients setup, based on nursing care assignments, allows you to view data from another bed in your group or the “ALL” group.

If your monitoring system is connected to the monitoring network, you can have 7 waves transmitted to the central station*. Only the primary wave is displayed on the main screen at the central station. Each Other Patients screen of any device connected to the monitoring network starts with the primary wave.

If you have ECG turned on, it is always selected as the primary wave. If it is not turned on you can select a primary wave in the System Waves Task Window under Monitor Setup.

*If EASI 12-Lead ECG is configured ON only 5 waves can be transmitted to the central station.

	If your bed is configured to receive alarms and the beds in your Other

	Other Patients Selection Window contain alarm information under the
	bed label. Alarm severity is indicated in the second line of the softkey
	label by ** for a yellow alarm and by *** for a red alarm. Additionally, the
	softkey will have a red or a yellow frame if a bed is in alarm.
