About This Manual
Ultraview Care Network™ Operations Manual documents a complete range of patient monitoring functions for
critical care. While each module may monitor one or more vital sign parameters, the operation of individual
parameters stays the same throughout the system. This CD-ROM manual is organized by operating functions
rather than by specific products. Monitor and parameter functions are presented in the CD-ROM titled
Ultraview Care Network Operations Manuals (P/N 084-1101-xx).
Quick Information
At the beginning of each chapter you will find illustrations of the monitor keys that appear on all Ultraview
monitors.
Brief troubleshooting information for each function is found at the end of each chapter. Troubleshooting tips
suggest solutions to the most frequent problems.
Operating Instructions
Each vital sign chapter contains a clinical overview, a description of the screen display, operating instructions,
error messages, and other pertinent information.
Product Compatibility
If your system does not contain a feature described in this manual:
•Your product may contain an earlier version of software. Refer to the original documentation that
accompanied your system.
•Your system configuration, including options ordered, may be different from the configurations described in
this manual. Refer to the notes in this manual describing features likely to be impacted by system
configuration.
Before moving a component from one network to another, be certain that the component’s software version is
compatible with that required by the second network. If in doubt, have a qualified field service engineer verify
compatibility between the component and the network.
Use only Spacelabs Healthcare parts and accessories with your Spacelabs Healthcare components. Other
parts may degrade performance or damage the components. Refer to the Spacelabs Healthcare Supplies Products Catalog (P/N 084-1201-xx) for the part numbers and descriptions of additional parts and accessories.
This chapter gives an overview of the Ultraview Care Network products, provides basic system operating
instructions, and describes network functions. Information regarding the operation of clinical information
system products are contained under separate cover. Please refer to their respective operations manuals.
Ultraview Care Network monitors provide a consistent operator interface across all bedside and central
monitoring environments. Monitors installed on a network provide access from monitor to monitor and enable
you to control the remote data.
Networked monitors enable you to view waveforms and numeric values of patient parameters, review vital sign
and ECG arrhythmia and ST history, and record patient data automatically during alarm events. Refer to
Network Basics on page 1-10 for more information.
•Central stations display patient specific parameters, remote alarms, and alarm limits that are based on the
setting of the bedside as determined by the primary caregiver. Refer to Central Monitors on page 6-3 for
detailed information on the system capabilities.
•The Remote View feature enables you to monitor two patients simultaneously. Remote views of
waveforms and numerics are nearly identical in display and function to the parameter at the originating
monitor. Alarms, trends, menu keys, and recordings are accessible through a Remote View. Refer to
Viewing Remote Parameters on page 1-11 and Alarms on page 2-3 for more information.
•The Full Bed Review feature enables you to view multiple parameters on a UCW and Ultraview 1700
bedside monitor from any other bedside or central monitor on the network. Refer to Full Bed Review — UCW and Ultraview 1700 Only on page 1-13 for more information.
•The Alarm Watch feature notifies you when an alarm occurs on any other monitor on the network. Refer to
Alarm Watch on page 2-8 for more information.
•Vital signs trending provides minute-by-minute recording of parameter data for review and for
documentation in the patient record. You select the format and interval for trending. Refer to Trends on
page 26-3.
•Optional calculations features provide automatic calculation and trending of advanced clinical variables
including hemodynamic, renal, oxygenation, ventilation calculations, and drug dosage. Refer to
Calculations on page 25-5.
Ultraview Care Network Operations Manual1-3
System Introduction and Network Basics
Monitor Basics
Ultraview Care Network monitors use modules to monitor various clinical parameters. For example:
•Electrocardiograph (ECG). Refer to ECG on page 8-3.
•Noninvasive Blood Pressure (NIBP). Refer to NIBP on page 13-3.
•Cardiac Output (CO). Refer to Cardiac Output on page 19-3.
Remote module housing units may be used with Ultraview Care Network monitors to house additional
modules. The 90385 Universal Clinical Workstation (UCW), 90363 Ultraview 1500, 90364 Ultraview 1600, and
90387 Ultraview 1700 monitors must use a remote module housing unit to house any of its modules.
•Each 90499 module housing holds up to two modules.
•Each 90491 module housing holds up to four modules.
An external power supply is needed whenever a module housing is used. A separate power supply is required
for the 90491 and 90499 module housing.
Warning:
Due to the potential for electromagnetic interference, portable communication transmitters and
cellular phones should not be operated within 1.07 meters (3.5 feet) of the patient, patient leads, or
associated patient monitoring equipment.
Note:
All references to the Universal Clinical Workstation or UCW include the Universal Clinical WorkstationIndependent Display (UCW-ID), and all the available features of the UCW-ID.
Power Failure
Warning:
•In the case of a power failure, the remote module housing (90491 or 90499) provides +5 volts of
power to maintain data integrity.
•If the power is interrupted to the remote module housing but not to the monitor, the module will
remain active and the following will occur:
-Waveforms will go flat (as if the patient has no vital signs) or will be totally lost.
-Parameter values will go to the minimum limit or ??? (except for non-invasive pressure,
which will display the last value before the power failure).
-Alarms may sound for low limit violations or for conditions such as Asystole, Leads Off,
Loss of Signal, or Adapter Disconnected.
•If any of the above conditions occur, check to determine whether or not power has been
interrupted to the remote module housing and re-establish AC power.
•Do not allow the Ultraview 1600, Ultraview 1700, or the 90499 module housing to be left turned
ON without power applied for long periods of time or the memory backup batteries will be
depleted.
Ultraview Care Network Operations Manual1-4
System Introduction and Network Basics
Modules are designed with default settings for alarms and various other parameter settings (for example, NIBP
reading frequency) which you may adjust to meet the needs of your patients. When events occur that might
cause the selected limits or values to return to the monitor default settings, the monitor may display a CHECK
SETUP key in the ECG zone combined with a low priority alarm tone (refer to Setting Alarm Limits on page 2-4
for details on alarm priorities). To cancel the message and the alarm, simply touch the CHECK SETUP key on
the screen.
The following describes the events that will cause the CHECK SETUP key to appear.
EventReason
Any time you power ON a monitor, all
parameters are reset to their default values or
Monitor power ON
When you insert an
ECG module
to the values set the last time the monitor was
in use. It is very important to review the
parameter limits and/or their values and adjust
them appropriately for the current patient.
Because the module values will come up with
default settings, it is important to review and
reset the limits and/or values for that particular
patient.
An error is detected
and the monitor
resets
Note:
Check Setup is an optional feature on the ECG channel. Contact your system administrator if your system
does not have this feature.
The monitor has detected an error that cannot
be corrected through other means.

Network Basics
To aid in understanding the concept of a network operation, consider your need to communicate between beds
in a single care unit. While you are in the care unit at a bedside monitor, you can view parameter waveforms
from another bed and control those parameters just as if you were at that remote bedside.
Advanced networking allows remote access and interaction with Clinical and Drug Calculations, Tabular
Trends, Graphic Trends, and parameters from remote beds. Standard networking allows the remote viewing of
single parameters from bedside to bedside, and bedside to central. The Full Bed Review feature on the UCW
and Ultraview 1700 allows remote viewing of the entire bedside monitor.
If you need to review information from another unit on the network, you can do so by specifying the unit as well
as the bed. For example, if you have a need for frequent communication between your care unit and another
care unit, those units would be designated as subnets on your networked system. This identification typically
appears on the keys in the appropriate menus.
The following figure illustrates a possible network configuration.
Although the presence of the network is invisible to you as you operate any monitor on the system, decisions
were made during installation to configure the system according to your hospital’s specifications. Typically,
hospitals designate a system administrator for this task. This manual directs you to refer questions to that
individual where system operation may differ according to the decisions made by your hospital.

System Introduction and Network Basics
Watching Alarms Remotely — Alarm Watch
With the network Alarm Watch function enabled you will be notified of all alarms at all monitors. Once a monitor
has been set up to Alarm Watch a bed, any alarm from that bed is reported.
Warning:
•The Alarm Watch function is not automatically enabled. You must first select the bed that the
central or bedside monitor should Alarm Watch.
•Alarm conditions for parameters not currently displayed on the central monitor will only be
reported at a central monitor when Alarm Watch is enabled at the central monitor.
Refer to Alarm Watch on page 2-8 for more information.
To enable Alarm Watch:
•Touch SPECIAL FUNCTIONS.
•Touch ALARM WATCH.
•Select a bed or a subnet.
•If you selected a subnet, then select a bed.
•Touch ALARM WATCH.
Viewing Remote Parameters
Each parameter on a bedside monitor can be independently viewed (Remote View) on any other bedside or
central monitor on the network. Remote views of parameters can be identical in display and function to the
local bedside, with the addition of the patient name and bed identification label.
If enabled by your system administrator alarms and menu keys operate the same at the remote monitor as
they do at the local bedside.
Bedside monitors can have parameters remotely viewed by up to 16 other devices.
Note:
Your network protocol may not enable you to make remote alarm limit changes or to remotely control a
parameter. If you have a question regarding this function, ask your system administrator.
To view remote parameters from a bedside monitor:
•Touch SPECIAL FUNCTIONS.
•Touch REMOTE VIEW.
•Select a bed or a subnet.
•If you selected a subnet, then select a bed.
•Select desired parameter.
Ultraview Care Network Operations Manual1-11
System Introduction and Network Basics
Remotely viewed parameters occupy the lowest zone on the screen of a bedside monitor. On the central
monitor each remote parameter is assigned a specific display position. Every Remote View zone is separated
from other zones by a dividing line.
To view remote parameters from a central monitor:
•Touch MONITOR SETUP.
•Touch SCREEN FORMAT.
•Select the destination display zone.
•Select a subnet or bed as appropriate.
•Select a parameter and color.
When a bedside monitor is set up to remotely view a parameter from another bedside, a one-second advisory
tone sounds at the onset of the alarm condition. The remote alarm tones must be active at that bedside
monitor.
Arrhythmia and ST segment review data can also be viewed from remote monitors if optional Arrhythmia and
ST segment analysis software is part of your system.
Warning:
Remote View and Alarm Watch are mutually exclusive functions on the bedside monitor. Selecting
to remotely view a parameter at a bedside inactivates the Alarm Watch function at that monitor.
When you need to control or continually observe a parameter from a remote monitor, use the Remote View
function. When you wish to have remote notification of alarms, use the Alarm Watch function.
Note:
Your network protocol may not allow you to control remotely viewed parameters. If you have a question
regarding this function, ask your system administrator.
