Welch Allyn 1500 Patient Monitor v.1.4.X - User Manual - Manual (Page 97)

Directions for use Acuity Central Station 93
Introduction
The Acuity Central Station provides central patient monitoring for monitoring devices
connected to the network. The monitor communicates through a hardwired Acuity
connection.
While connected to the network, the monitor sends data to Acuity. This data is
continuously analyzed to provide appropriate alarm or alert messages at the Central
Station and other network devices such as a hallway message panel or the monitor itself.
Acuity also stores the patient information for viewing or report printing.
If the monitor loses communication with Acuity, it continues to monitor the patient and
display patient information. While not communicating with Acuity, the monitor continues
to generate local patient alarms or alert messages. When connection is restored it
automatically reconnects to Acuity and uploads trend information.
Connect to the Acuity Central Station
The ethernet connector (RJ45) is positioned on the back of the monitor.
Caution Ensure that only a Welch Allyn approved RJ45 cable assembly is used.
Use of any other cable assembly may damage the monitor.
