Notes
WARNING Welch Allyn Connectivity Server patient data is a subset of the
patient data that is available at the Acuity Central Station. Do not solely use Welch
Allyn Connectivity Server (WACS) data for patient diagnosis.
WARNING Do not rely solely on mobile devices running the Clinician Notifier
program to indicate patient alarms and patient monitor equipment alerts. Always
continue to monitor patients at patient monitors and the Acuity Central Station,
and respond to patient monitor equipment alerts. In these examples, mobile
devices do not indicate patient alarms:
• A clinician is not assigned to the mobile device.
• The mobile device is turned off or the battery is depleted.
• The assigned clinician is exited from the Clinician Notifier program.
• The assigned clinician is logged out of the Clinician Notifier program.
• The mobile device is not communicating with the Welch Allyn Connectivity
Server.
• The Welch Allyn Connectivity Server is not communicating with the Acuity
Central Station.
• The patient monitor is not communicating with the Acuity System.
• The patient is disconnected from the patient monitor.
• Your facility’s AcuityLink Clinician Notifier option includes only the barcoding
feature.
Caution U. S. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a
physician.
Caution Do not upgrade a WACS system that is functioning improperly.
Upgrading a malfunctioning system could cause configuration files to become
missing or corrupted.
Note Do not save patient reports on any unsecured or public computer. If the computer
is not secure, always clear the disk cache after each user access.
Note Each Welch Allyn Connectivity Server page opens at full speed after it has been
accessed once.
