Select Profiles in the monitor info line of the first display,
2 Select Display 1, Display 2, or Display 3 then select the Screen you want to display
on the that display from the list of available Screens.
When two displays are mounted next to each other or one above the other, a special Screen can be
assigned which spans across both displays. The Screen content for these Tall and Wide Screens can
then use the increased area available with two displays. These Screens appear in the Screen list with a
special Tall Screen or Wide Screen symbol.
Certain windows (for example: cardiac output procedure) can only be shown on one display at a time.
If you try to open one of these windows when it is already shown on another display, you will see a
blank grey window with a cross through it.
Using the Visitor Screen
If a visitor Screen is configured for your monitor, you can use it to clear the screen of all waves and
numerics but continue to monitor the patient with active alarms and trend storage at the bedside and
Information Center. You can change the name of the visitor Screen in Configuration Mode.
To activate this Screen, select the Screen name in the monitor info line to open the Screen
menu, then select the name of the visitor Screen configured for your monitor from the list of
available Screens.
Select any element on the Screen to open the Screen menu and select a different Screen to show
waves and numerics again.
Understanding Profiles
Profiles are predefined monitor configurations. They let you change the configuration of the whole
monitor so you can adapt it to different monitoring situations. The changes that occur when you
change a complete profile are more far reaching than those made when you change a Screen. Screens
affect only what is shown on the display. Profiles affect all monitor and measurement settings.
The settings that are defined by Profiles are grouped into three categories. Each category offers a choice
of ‘settings blocks’ customized for specific monitoring situations. These categories are:
Display (screens)
Each profile can have a choice of many different predefined screens. If you are using a second
display, each display can have its own individual screen selection. When you change the profile,
the screen selection configured for the new profile becomes active.
Measurement Settings
Each profile can have a choice of different predefined measurement settings. These relate directly
to individual measurements, for example, measurement on/off, measurement color, alarms limits,
NBP alarm source, NBP repeat time, temperature unit (
o
F or
o
C) pressure unit (mmHg or kPa).
Monitor Settings
Each profile can have a choice of different predefined monitor settings. These relate to the
monitor as a whole; for example, display brightness, alarms off/paused, alarm volume, QRS tone
volume, tone modulation, prompt tone volume, wave speed, resp wave speed, pulse source.
