Move a monitored patient

You can move a monitored patient in these ways: 

•

Move a patient and monitor to a new room within the unit or transfer to a new unit 
within the same Acuity System network. 

•

Move a patient to a different monitor anywhere within the same Acuity System 
network.

If the patient’s original Acuity System review information is still available within the Acuity 
System network (24 to 96 hours after disconnect), it is available in the new location after 
the move. 

Patient data collected on the patient monitor during the move might transfer to the Acuity 
System, depending upon the monitor.

For information about patient monitors that are part of your Acuity System but are not 
shown in this chapter, consult the patient monitor manufacturer’s literature.

Move the patient and monitor to a new location

You can arrange to move a patient and monitor to a new location in these ways:

•

From the Acuity Central Station

•

From a hardwired or wireless monitor.

If you would like to add a note to a patient’s Waveform Window regarding a move, you 
can do so in the Patient ID Setup window. For instructions, see 

WARNING   Always check alarm limits when a monitor reestablishes 
communication with the Acuity System. If you change limits at a monitor while it 
is not communicating with the Acuity System (for example, during transport or 
signal dropout), when you reestablish communication with the system, the limits 
might change to Acuity System Presets values.
