CAUTION
ADJUSTING WAVEFORM COLORS — For an unlocked patient
bed, the waveform color changes remain in effect until the bed is
removed from the display, discharged, or until the bed is moved to a
different location on the display. At this time, the waveform colors
return to the default settings.
For locked patient bed, the color changes remain in effect until a
user manually changes the colors. Moving or discharging a patient
bed does not return the waveform colors to the default settings.

Definition
Bed names are permanently allocated to a particular
slot on the CIC Pro center.
Users are unable to move the bed to another slot.
When a telemetry patient is discharged from a locked
patient window, the message "DISCHARGED" is
displayed in the patient window.
The bed names are temporarily allocated to a particular
slot on the CIC Pro center.
An admitted bed can be moved to another available
slot at the CIC Pro.
When a telemetry patient is discharged from an
unlocked patient window, an Admit button is displayed
in the patient window.
Telemetry monitoring occurs when patient vital signs data is
transmitted by a transmitter to a telemetry receiver system
over an established antenna system and viewed at a CIC
Pro center. The CIC Pro center identifies a telemetry bed by
placing an asterisk next to the bed name (e.g., IMC|BED4*).
ECG data is processed by the telemetry receiver system.
Each transmitter has a transmitter TTX ID number that
corresponds to a frequency and service type. The TTX ID
number is found in parenthesis on the back of the
transmitter.
When the TTX ID number is entered for a patient at the CIC
Pro center, the CIC Pro center recognizes the transmitter
type and translates the information into an alpha-numeric
number. The alpha-numeric number of the transmitter is
displayed under the ECG parameter window.
NOTE
The TTX ID number is a four digit number.
