 Central Monitoring System Software User’s Manual

Bed Number

Bed number is the only way for the Central monitoring system
software to differentiate bedside units. In the System, it has 2
meanings, i.e. physical equipment number (which is set by
manufacturer at the time of leaving factory and cannot be
modified by user, ranging from 1 to 66) and logical bed number
(which may be defined by hospital according to its actual
situations of beds in actual use.
Physical bed number is unique to the Central monitoring system
software. Each bedside unit in the same monitoring network has its
unique machine number. The Central monitoring system software
does not have any requirement on logical bed number. It is allowed
that multiple bedside units have the same logical bed number at the
same time. The display of bed number info at the Central
monitoring system software is in the following format: for example,
<27> Room 101 Bed 02, standing for the bedside unit whose
physical bed number is 27, room number is 101 and logical bed
number is 02. In this case, doctors shall determine the unique bed
number on the basis of the physical bed related to the bed during
the observation of the monitoring info displayed on the screen of
the Central monitoring system software.
Physical bed number, room number and logical bed number are
modified on bedside units. Modifications cannot be conducted on
the Central monitoring system software.

There are two kinds of alarms, defined as physiological alarm and

technical alarm. Physiological alarms refer to those alarms triggered
by patient’s physiological situation which could be considered
dangerous to his or her life, such as SpO2 exceeding alarm limit
(parameter alarms). Technical alarms refer to system failure, which
can make certain monitoring process technically impossible or make
monitoring result unbelievable. General alarm belongs to those
situations that cannot be categorized into these two cases but still
need to pay some attention.

5.2 Alarm Levels

Alarms in the system are divided into three priorities, that is:
high level, medium level and low level.
„ High level alarm indicates the patient’s life is in danger. It is the
most serious alarm.
