Monitor Defaults Overview
There are three types of monitor defaults:
Factory defaults
Custom defaults
Control settings
Factory Defaults
Factory defaults control alarm levels, alarm limits, display setup and parameter
priority settings. Each monitor is programmed with three sets of factory defaults (one
for each patient-monitor type).
To review the factory defaults on a monitor, select MORE MENUS > MONITOR
SETUP > MONITOR DEFAULTS.
These are persistent settings; meaning they are recalled after a patient is discharged
from the monitor.
You cannot change the factory defaults. If your care unit requires different settings,
you can create custom defaults.
NOTE
If you are prompted for a password after selecting this option, access to monitor
defaults was password protected during installation.
For a complete list of the factory defaults for each patient-monitor type, refer to
Factory Defaults on page C-1.
Custom Defaults
Custom defaults are a set of modified factory defaults. You can create up to five
custom default profiles for each patient-monitor type used in your care unit.
Custom defaults are retained when any of the following events occur:
A parameter cable is disconnected from the patient.
A parameter cable is disconnected from the monitor.
A parameter cable is disconnected from a single-parameter module.
A parameter was turned off, then turned on again.
CAUTION
—If a patient cable is disconnected from the monitor and the
parameter window disappears from the display, alarm limits may
revert to the factory defaults when the cable is reconnected.
These are persistent settings; meaning they are recalled when a patient is discharged
from the monitor.
