Directions for Use Chapter 2 Monitoring 21
• If your patient is in the list, highlight the name and press . Within a few
seconds the monitor displays a list of unassigned rooms.
• If you want to assign the patient to a room, highlight the room and press .
• If you do not want to assign a room at this time, highlight Select Room at
Central and press . The patient room will need to be entered later at the
monitor (see “Reassign a monitored patient to a new room in the same unit” on
page 32) or at Acuity (see “Monitor patient at Acuity” on page 41).
6. If you need to customize alarm limits for your patient, see “Customize patient alarm
limits at the monitor” on page 37.

WARNING Motion artifact can cause incorrect heart rate readings. Minimize
patient motion whenever possible.
WARNING If a disconnected lead is in too close proximity to other electrical
devices, it may cause false heart rate readings.
WARNING The monitor does not provide internal arrhythmia analysis.
Therefore, arrhythmias may cause the monitor to display inaccurate heart rates.
WARNING The monitor will show + + + for HR numerics between 301 and
350 beats per minute. Above 350 beats per minute, it may display incorrectly
low heart rates, due to intermittent picking of R-waves.
WARNING Do not use the monitor in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
suite or a hyperbaric chamber. Such use can cause fire or explosion resulting in
patient injury and monitor damage.
WARNING Pacemaker signals can differ from one pacemaker to the next. The
Association for Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) cautions that
“in some devices, rate meters may continue to count the pacemaker rate during
occurrences of cardiac arrest or some arrhythmias. Do not rely entirely upon rate
meter alarms. All pacemaker patients should be kept under close or constant
observation.” See “ECG specifications” on page 53 for disclosure of the
pacemaker pulse rejection capability of this instrument.
