Philips V24CT, V26CT manual Getting Started

Attaching the Patient

If your monitor is connected to a Philips patient care system while the monitor is in standby, no parameter data from your monitor is sent over the system. Instead, a message indicating that your monitor is in “Standby” is sent to other beds in the system, and is displayed at the central station. If your bed is configured to receive alarms, and another bed in the system goes into alarm, the status message “Other Bed in Alarm” is displayed on your monitor. You will hear the overview prompt tone (two double beeps), but the Alarm Bed Task Window will not be displayed.

To resume monitoring, simply press one of the keys (except Suspend ) on the control panel on the front of the display or on the handheld keypad (CMS only). The changes and adjustments that you made to the settings before going into Monitor Standby are retained. Patient Data Management information collected before going into Monitor Standby is also retained.

As all monitoring is suspended, no patient data is collected while the monitor is in Monitor Standby.

The Suspend hardkey operates as usual when you are in Monitor Standby, so you can prepare the monitor alarm capability before you resume monitoring.
