Philips Patient Care System
The Philips Patient Care System is a network which transports
information. If your system is connected to such a monitoring network
you can send information to other systems or central stations, and receive
information from them.
One aspect of this information transmission capability is called Other
Patients.
The Other Patients setup, based on nursing care assignments, allows you
to view data from another bed in your group or the “ALL” group.
If your monitoring system is connected to the monitoring network, you
can have 7 waves transmitted to the central station*. Only the primary
wave is displayed on the main screen at the central station. Each Other
Patients screen of any device connected to the monitoring network starts
with the primary wave.
If you have ECG turned on, it is always selected as the primary wave. If it
is not turned on you can select a primary wave in the System Waves Task
Window under Monitor Setup.
* If EASI 12-Lead ECG is configured ON only 5 waves can be transmitted
to the central station.
The Other

Selection
Window
The softkeys in the Other Patients Selection Window contain the bed
labels of the beds currently available for viewing on your monitor.
Pressing a softkey leads you into the Other Bed Task Window for that
particular bed. This task window contains detailed patient information
including alarms and INOPs.
If your bed is configured to receive alarms and the beds in your Other
Patients group are configured to transmit alarms, the softkeys in the
Other Patients Selection Window contain alarm information under the
bed label. Alarm severity is indicated in the second line of the softkey
label by ** for a yellow alarm and by *** for a red alarm. Additionally, the
softkey will have a red or a yellow frame if a bed is in alarm.
