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.

This chapter describes how to use the Alarm Watch feature, set alarm limits, silence and suspend alarms, set
alarm tones, and specify parameters for automatic alarm recordings.
When a parameter goes into alarm on a local bedside monitor, the corresponding parameter key flashes on the
screen, an alarm message is displayed, and an alarm tone sounds (unless tones are disabled). You can also
choose to automatically record the parameter in alarm on a bedside or network printer. Networked monitors
enable you to monitor alarm conditions at both the central and bedside monitors simultaneously through the
Alarm Watch feature.
Warning:
Alarm conditions for which you want to be alerted must be set to ON or enabled at the location
where you want to be alerted, bedside or central. You can enable them from the local bed, remote
bed, or central.
Note:
Define your own default settings for alarm limits, alarm priorities, recordings, and other attributes with the
Module Configuration Manager feature. Refer to Module Configuration Manager on page 7-5 for further
details.
Default Alarm Limits
Factory default alarm limit settings are activated whenever the monitor is powered ON, whenever a module is
inserted, or when a parameter is enabled. You can modify these settings to meet your own protocols.
Refer to the Alarm section of the appropriate parameter chapter in this manual for details concerning setting or
adjusting alarm limits for a specific parameter.

Adjusting Alarm Tones/Key Tones
You can turn the alarm tone ON or OFF and adjust the tone volume for local alarms, Remote View alarms, or
Alarm Watch alarms. While you are adjusting tone volume, a tone sounds briefly as an example of the new
level.
Alarm tones refer to the sound associated with an alarm condition. Key tones sound each time you touch a
screen key.
Volume adjustments affect only the monitor where the adjustment is made. The tone volume of an alarm
notification at a remote monitor must be adjusted at that monitor. It cannot be adjusted remotely. A visual alarm
notification is displayed until the condition is resolved, even if you disable the alarm tones at that monitor.
Alarm Watch tones sound when the Alarm Watch feature is active and an alarm condition exists on a watched
monitor. The Alarm Watch feature must be enabled via the Special Functions menu for the Alarm Watch tone
to sound.
The Remote View alarm tone only sounds when a remotely viewed parameter goes into alarm.
Warning:
Disabling alarm tones via Monitor Setup at a bedside or at a central monitor eliminates alarm tones
for all alarm conditions at that monitor, even in the case of life-threatening events.
To set local alarm tones or key tones:
•Touch MONITOR SETUP.
•Touch TONES.
•Select LOCAL ALARMS or KEY TONE.
•Select TONES ON.
•Use VOLUME and VOLUME keys to adjust.

Controlling Alarms via the TONE RESET/ALM
SUSPEND Key
During an Alarm Condition
If you touch TONE RESET/ALM SUSPEND once at a monitor during an alarm condition:
•The alarm tone is silenced at that monitor for 45 seconds, but the alarm tone continues to sound at other
monitors. If the alarm condition continues, the alarm tone resumes at that monitor at the end of the
45-second period. If another parameter goes into alarm during this period, or if the initial condition ends
and then begins again, the alarm tone will again sound at that monitor.
•The message ALARM TONES SUSPENDED FOR 45 SECONDS is displayed only on that monitor.
•All flashing parameter keys continue to flash.
At a bedside monitor, when you touch the TONE RESET/ALM SUSPEND again within 45 seconds:
•All alarms and alarm recordings are suspended for three minutes. No alarms sound for any reason during

TONE RESET/ALM SUSPEND key once.
Alarm Watch
With the network Alarm Watch feature, you can be notified at a local bedside or central monitor of all alarms
from a remote bed. The Alarm Watch feature defaults to its last setting when the monitor is turned ON. The
local monitor displays the message ALARM WATCH ON when the Alarm Watch feature for a remote bed is
active. On a central monitor, the message AW OFF also displays for each bed not selected for Alarm Watch.
Note:
A central monitor can be configured with the Central Alarm Watch Manager to automatically Alarm Watch
every bed it is currently monitoring. Contact your system administrator about this feature.
Refer to Viewing Remote Parameters on page 1-11 for more information. The listed limits for the number of
devices that can remotely view a monitor apply to Alarm Watch-initiated remote views.
When a parameter from a monitor that is under Alarm Watch goes into alarm, a message such as ALARM WATCH – BED 28 ECG CHANNEL IN ALARM displays on the message line of the alarm-watching monitor. A
one-time advisory tone sounds at the watching bedside or central monitor. The corresponding waveform
appears in the lowest zone on the screen of the alarm-watching monitor, unless:
•another alarm-watched parameter is in alarm and its waveform already occupies that zone at the watching
monitor,
-OR-
•a parameter is displayed in the lowest zone of the monitor and its parameter key has been activated
displaying a menu.
Ultraview Care Network Operations Manual2-8
Alarms
When a waveform for an Alarm Watch parameter in alarm displays, the appropriate tone sounds at the bedside
(once) and at the central monitors for the duration of the alarm.
Only one Alarm Watch waveform can be viewed at a time. When subsequent, concurrent alarms occur for one
patient or other patients on Alarm Watch, a message displays and a one-second advisory tone sounds.
Remember to enable Alarm Watch tones in the Monitor Setup menu to produce audible alarms.
If multiple alarms occur simultaneously, the messages displayed cycle from one to another every three
seconds (up to a maximum of ten alarms) until all alarm conditions are resolved, or until you disable alarms at
either the local monitor (through Remote View) or the remote monitor.
Warning:
•Using the Alarm Watch feature, you can watch for alarms from 32 other monitors. However,
more than ten remote alarms cannot be reported simultaneously to any monitor using the Alarm
Watch feature.
•Remote View and Alarm Watch are mutually exclusive features on bedside monitors. If you
select to Remote View a parameter the Alarm Watch feature at that monitor is inactivated.
To resume Alarm Watch, touch the ALARM WATCH or ALARM WATCH ENABLE (on the UCW and Ultraview
1700) key. Alarm Watch is resumed for all previously selected patients. You can also add patients for Alarm
Watch. The ALARM WATCH ON message displays in the message zone whenever one or more remote beds
are selected for Alarm Watch from that local monitor.
If your hospital protocol requires remote monitoring of all alarms, you can activate Alarm Watch during the
setup of your bedside or central monitors. Alarm Watch remains ON as long as you do not power down the
monitor. Refer to Power Failure on page 1-4 for further 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.
•Ensure that the key for the desired bed(s) has the ON segment highlighted or is
indented.
•Touch ALARM WATCH ENABLE for the UCW and Ultraview 1700.
To disable Alarm Watch:
•Touch SPECIAL FUNCTIONS.
•Select RV/AW OFF.

Alarm Watch Rotation
On some monitors, your system administrator can configure the Alarm Watch feature to rotate the visible
active alarms through the Alarm Watch display zone on the screen. Active alarms being monitored will rotate in
and out of the display zone at an interval set by your system administrator. The Alarm Watch rotation time,
signal tone, and rotation algorithm are set in the ALARM WATCH SETUP menu, accessed by touching the
PRIVILEGED ACCESS key.
ROTATE ALARM WATCH — enables the system administrator to turn the rotation of alarms ON or OFF. If
you select OFF, the ALARM WATCH ROTATION and the ROTATION TIME options are unavailable.
ALARM WATCH ROTATION — enables the system administrator to select either a rotation system allowing
the higher priority alarms to rotate into the window more often (Priority) or a simple rotation system allowing all
alarms equal time in the rotation regardless of the alarm priority.
ROTATION TIME — selects the interval between rotations in the Alarm Watch window.
Central Alarm Watch Manager
Your system administrator may have configured your central station monitor with the Central Alarm Watch
Manager feature enabled. This feature automatically activates the Alarm Watch feature for all beds currently
displayed on that central monitor.
Note:
•When the Central Alarm Watch Manager is activated, it displays alarms for each bedside that has the
Alarm Watch feature enabled. The central monitor continues watching for alarm conditions from the
selected bedside monitors until you disable Alarm Watch for that bedside monitor or disable the Auto
Alarm Watch feature altogether.
•The factory default is Auto Alarm Watch ON with access to the Auto Alarm Watch feature DISABLED.
•The Central Alarm Watch Manager must be set by a system administrator with a Biomed level of
privileged access.

Alarm Tone Manager
The Alarm Tone Manager provides two levels of managing alarm notifications.
•If this feature is ENABLED, it will not allow individual alarm tones to be permanently disabled.
•The system administrator can set a minimum volume for alarm tones ensuring that they are always at a
safe and audible level.
Note:
•The factory default for the Alarm Tone Manager is OFF, which inhibits access to the ALARM TONES
keys in the Monitor Setup menu.
•The Alarm Tone Manager must be set by a system administrator with a Biomed level of privileged
access.
Automatic Recording of an Alarm
Touch the ALARM PARAMS key to display a menu of parameters that can initiate alarm recordings on a
bedside recorder and on a network printer if the parameter goes into an alarm condition. Recording on a
network printer is configuration-dependent. See your system administrator for details.
If alarm recordings are disabled for a parameter, no alarm recording is produced on either the bedside or
network printer. However, the designated alarm tones are still generated and alarm messages are displayed.
Alarm recordings print the last 12 or 20 seconds (selectable under RECORDING DURATION) of a waveform
or print until the alarm stops or is suspended, whichever is longer. To stop a recording at the bedside printer,
touch STOP or UNIT OFF on the printer module.
When a bedside recorder is present in the monitor and is selected and online, an alarm recording is
automatically directed to that recorder.
Use the key labeled OTHER ON/OFF for any new parameter not yet on the alarm parameters menu.
Note:
•Spacelabs Healthcare strongly recommends verifying alarm parameter settings on the monitor once
per shift and upon each admission.
•If a printer is not attached to the monitor, the recorder channel (1, 2, 4) keys do not appear in the menu.
To select parameters for alarm recording and generate automatic recordings on a
bedside recorder:
•Touch MONITOR SETUP.
•Touch RECORDER CONFIG.
•Select RECORDING DESTINATION.
•Select a destination for the alarm recording.
•Touch PREVIOUS MENU.
•Touch ALARM PARAMS.
•Select parameter key(s) ON to initiate a recording in case of alarm. If the parameter

Printing Priorities
Each Spacelabs Healthcare network-connected patient monitor is capable of sending recordings to two
network printers. With two printers available to monitors on the network, printer selection rules are used to
strike the best possible balance to:
•generate the most timely output of high-priority recordings;
•ensure that subsequent recordings from one patient over a short time span are processed by one printer;
and
•use paper as efficiently as possible.
When the printing load is heavy, these objectives may conflict. The factors that are taken into consideration
when a print request occurs include:
•Are either of the two printers outputting, holding in memory queue, or loading in queue a print job from this
monitor?
•Are either of the printers idle?
•Is the record request a high-priority request (alarm vs. manual)?
•Are either of the printers currently printing a continuous recording?
Ultraview Care Network Operations Manual4-12
Printing
•Are either of the printers’ queues full?
•Which of the printers is the preferred size for this request (1, 2, or 4 channels)?
At the time of a printing request, the monitor from which the request is coming evaluates both of the available
printers one at a time, leading to a score for each of the two printers. Each printer’s evaluation passes all the
way through the priority tree from the top score to the score at the bottom of the tree. The printer generating the
highest score gets the job. If the evaluation produces the same score for each printer, the print job is sent to
the printer designated as the primary printer for that monitor.
The printing rules mentioned work best when the two printers are sharing the printing load. The monitor
automatically determines which printer is best for each type of recording. Another configuration designates one
printer as the primary printer and the other as the backup printer. All recordings are sent to the primary printer
unless it is unable to print for the following reasons:
•Offline
•Out of paper
•Disconnected from network
•Powered OFF
•All print queues full
•Unable to accept recording type
If the primary printer is unable to print, the recordings are then sent to the backup printer unless it is also
unable to print for the reasons listed above.
Some networks are configured so that recordings from a given monitor are directed to only one of the printers
on the network. In this case only one printer will be available instead of two during possible times of
simultaneous multiple bed alarms. The selection rules will not be applicable, and print performance will be
affected.
The following list defines recording priorities in descending order:
Highest
•Alarm recording or a manual recording request via a monitor
•RECORD ALL request via a bedside monitor
•RECORD ALL request via a central monitor
•Non-waveform recordings
Lowest
•All Arrhythmia/ST classes
In all network printing cases:
•High-priority print jobs bump lower-priority jobs. For instance, an alarm recording will bump graphic
trends to a lower position in the print queue.
•A fully loaded printer will bump graphic trends out of the queue.
•A high-priority request erases as many lower-priority requests as needed to make room for the data it
contains.
Note:
A status message is not displayed when a print request replacement occurs.
Ultraview Care Network Operations Manual4-13
Printing
Selecting Print Duration
Waveform Data
In the absence of an alarm condition, the print request origin determines the length of time that waveform data
(ECG, ART, RESP, etc.) is recorded.
Recordings requested via the monitor are either 12 or 20 seconds in duration. This is selectable via the
RECORDING DURATION key. Recordings start with a few seconds of data received just prior to the print
request, followed by real-time data.
Note:
The RECORDING DURATION key will not display if the recording duration has been preset by your
system administrator.
To select print duration from the monitor:
•Touch MONITOR SETUP.
•Touch RECORDER CONFIG.
•Touch RECORDING DURATION to change length of time for printing.
Non-Waveform Data
The length of time the printer requires to record non-waveform data, such as graphs and data tables, depends
on the complexity of the data and cannot be pre-determined.

Printing
Recording Alarms
An alarm recording may be triggered whenever a parameter enters an alarm condition. Recordings in the
process of printing cannot be interrupted or delayed by a new alarm condition.
Note:
Parameter alarm recordings can be set to OFF so that a printer will not respond to an alarm condition (the
alarm tone and accompanying alarm message are unaffected). Refer to Automatic Recording of an Alarm
on page 2-11 for more details.
To select parameters for alarm recording and generate automatic recordings on a
bedside recorder:
•Touch MONITOR SETUP.
•Touch RECORDER CONFIG.
•Select RECORDING DESTINATION.
•Select a destination for the alarm recording.
•Touch PREVIOUS MENU.
•Touch ALARM PARAMS.
•Select parameter key(s) ON to initiate a recording in case of alarm. If the parameter
key is OFF, no alarm recording is produced for that parameter in an alarm condition.
Selecting Recording Destination
The Recording Destination menu contains keys that direct alarm recordings to a bedside recorder, a network
printer, or both. All other recordings may be directed only to a bedside printer or a network printer, but not both.
Alarm recordings begin with several seconds of pre-alarm waveform data and continue for as long as the alarm
condition exists (a minimum of 12 seconds).
Note:
12-lead ECG reports will always print to the 90838 printer, if available, regardless of the destination
settings for the recording.
Ultraview Care Network Operations Manual4-16
Printing
Printing via Monitors
Non-Waveform Data
Whenever you display non-waveform data on either the central or bedside monitors, a PRINT key displays.
The RECORD key is not functional for printing non-waveform data. As a result, non-waveform data must be
displayed before it can be recorded.
Non-waveform data usually occupies a minimum of two slots in the printer's queue due to the volume of
information being sent. This means that a single non-waveform recording may take up as much room on the
strip chart as two simultaneous waveform recordings.
If the data cannot fit on the strip at one time, it is separated horizontally, printing first the top half and then the
bottom half of the data.
To start a manual recording via the monitor:
•Touch RECORD.
•Touch up to four flashing parameter keys.
•Touch CANCEL RECORD SELECTION(S) to terminate.
-OR-
•Touch STOP RECORDING in the PRINTER CONTROLS menu to terminate.
Waveform Data
Waveform data is recorded using the RECORD key on the monitor.
Note:
•Requests for recording waveform data are limited to only those waveform parameters that are currently
displayed on the screen (except ECG where all leads print).
•If a parameter menu is left on the screen, the CONTINUOUS RECORD key is not displayed.
Each time you touch RECORD on the monitor, the CONTINUOUS RECORD key displays and waveform
parameter keys flash for up to four seconds. You must make your key selection within this four-second
window. This window stays open for an additional two to four seconds each time a key is selected. Once the
parameter keys stop flashing, any waveforms that have been selected are automatically sent to the printer for
recording.
Touch the RECORD key twice to display the Recording menu. From the Recording menu you can:
•Record all parameters currently on this screen by touching RECORD ALL.
•Initiate a preselected group of recordings by touching PRESELECTED A or PRESELECTED B.
•Select PRINT VITAL SIGNS to manually print the vital signs you have selected (refer to Record Vitals Report (Ultraview 1030/1050 Only) on page 4-23 for more information).
RECORD ALL and PRESELECTED A OR B recordings are eight seconds in duration.

Paper Out Conditions
Warning:
While printers are offline, or out of paper, they will ignore any new alarm that would normally start
a recording, and no alarm or requested recordings will go into a queue.
All printers signal a paper out condition by periodically sounding a tone. The PrintMaster will beep every
15 seconds when there is no paper in the cassette, or the cassette is not loaded. In addition, the PrintMaster
and the bedside printer module flash the PAPER OUT light, while the two-channel and four-channel system
printer modules display a LOCAL PRINTER PAPER OUT message. On the Ultraview 1030/1050 monitor’s
printer, the PAPER OUT tone does not sound if the local alarm tone key is set to OFF.
After reloading paper in the system printer module, the paper-feed mechanism ejects a sheet to verify proper
paper feeding. For the paper-feed mechanism to work, you must leave the printer power ON while you are
loading paper.
Caution:
Removing a bedside or system printer module from the monitor to load paper causes an immediate
loss of pending print requests.

This chapter describes the functions and features of bedside and transport monitors. Refer to the Bedside/
Transport Monitors
The Ultraview Care Network family of monitors and modules have built-in error detection and recovery
circuitry. This circuitry, together with special software, enables the monitor to re-initialize and continue to
function if an error occurs.
When the system detects an error that cannot be corrected through other means, the bedside monitor reinitializes or resets (blanks). Normally, a reset involves very little loss of patient monitoring time (approximately
five seconds) and, with few exceptions, all operator set inputs (alarm limits, pressure labels, transducer offsets,
etc.) are retained. The entire process of restoring the bedside monitor following a reset, takes approximately
20 seconds, depending upon the number of parameters being monitored.
In some cases, stored trend data will be lost when the monitor resets. If this occurs, the lost data may indicate
a hardware condition that requires corrective action. The system will then initiate the start-up diagnostics to
check the monitor's operation and fully recover the data. This process takes approximately 10 seconds longer.
If a bedside monitor resets, the bedside monitor displays CHECK SETUP in the ECG zone to alert you to
check all limits and values and ensure that the monitor has restored all preset values. (Refer to Power Failure
on page 1-4 for more information.) This also occurs when the monitor is turned ON or when an ECG module
has been inserted. Your system administrator may disable the CHECK SETUP feature.
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.

Display Detail
All monitoring data originates at the bedside. Parameter modules plug into the monitor itself or into a remote
module housing to obtain patient information, including waveforms and numeric displays.
The bedside screen may (optionally) display up to eight full waveform zones. If more than eight zones are
used, zones 9 through 24 appear at the bottom of the screen as numeric values. When you activate a numeric
value key, that parameter is displayed in the lowest priority display zone.

Bedside and Transport Monitor Features
Adjusting Screen Brightness and Contrast
Using the Monitor Setup menu you may increase or decrease the monitors’ screen contrast and brightness.
Ultraview 1030/1050 monitors contain a SCREEN BRIGHTNESS key for monitors operating on AC power
enabling you to set the screen to NORMAL or DIM. Setting the screen to DIM also enables the power saving
features such as shutting off the LEDs and disabling the mouse and keyboard. The screen will also dim
approximately 30 seconds after the last time a key is touched or after the final alarm ends. Ultraview 1030/
1050 monitors operating on DC (battery) power contain an ENERGY SAVING MODE ON/OFF key that
enables and disables the power saving features.
Your monitor can be configured to sound a tone whenever an R-wave (QRS tone) or SpO2 pulse (SpO2 tone)
is detected. The pitch of the QRS tone can be modulated with the current SpO
Tones on page 8-18 and Adjusting Tone Volume on page 14-10 for more information.
Your monitor has two options for how the QRS or SpO
parameter’s TONE ON/OFF key. Your monitor can be configured to always sound this tone (default setting) or
to only sound this tone when an alarm is occurring.
On UCW and Ultraview 1700 monitors, this selection is available to any user with the Clinical level of
“privileged access.” On Ultraview 1030, 1050, 1500, and 1600 monitors, this selection is only available to your

Data Shuttle Option
The Data Shuttle option enables you to transfer patient admit data (e.g., age, gender, name, and BSA) and up
to 24 hours of trend and episodic data from one monitor to another using a 90496 Ultraview Command Module.
You can transfer data acquired through any Ultraview Care Network module or Flexport interface. Before you
shuttle data from one monitor to another, you must first transfer the data from the source monitor into a 90496
module. When you remove the module from the source monitor and insert it into the receiving monitor, data
can be transferred to the receiving monitor.
Note:
The time and date set on both the sending and receiving monitors must be identical for the data transfer to
be successful.
Transferring Data to the Module
If your monitor and module support the Data Shuttle option, the monitor displays a TRANSFER DATA key in
your ECG Setup menu. When you wish to transfer data (for example when transporting a monitored patient
from one unit to another), touch the TRANSFER DATA key to initiate data transfer into the module. The
monitor will then display the message TRANSFERRING PATIENT DATA INTO MODULE.
Note:
•The Data Shuttle option is only available in bedside or transport monitors. Central monitors do not
display keys and messages related to data transfer.
•If you insert a module that supports the Data Shuttle option into a monitor that does not have the option,
the monitor will not display data transfer messages and keys.
To transfer data:
•Touch ECG.
•Touch SETUP.
•Select TRANSFER DATA.
•Remove module after DATA TRANSFER COMPLETED is displayed.
•Insert module into a monitor to retrieve the data.
•Touch RETRIEVE DATA.
•Touch YES.
Once the data is completely transferred, the monitor sounds a tone and displays the message DATA TRANSFER COMPLETED below the UPDATE TRANSFER and CANCEL TRANSFER keys. The module is
now ready to be removed from that monitor.

DATA TRANSFER COMPLETED
Figure 5-6: Data Transfer Completed display
If you do not transfer the module to the receiving monitor immediately, the source monitor will be storing new
data, but the module's transfer data is not automatically updated.
After two minutes, a tone will sound once each minute to remind you to update the module with the newly
acquired data and the monitor will display the message DATA TRANSFER COMPLETED.
The message DATA IS XX MINUTES OLD displays the amount of time that has elapsed since you last
transferred the data. The monitor updates this message each minute.
Updating the Data Transfer
If time has elapsed between data transfer into the module and module removal, you may wish to update the
transferred data before you remove the module. To update this data, touch UPDATE TRANSFER.
To update transfer data:
•Touch UPDATE TRANSFER.
While the data is being updated, the monitor re-displays the message TRANSFERRING PATIENT DATA INTO MODULE.
Note:
•Parameter information acquired between the time you transfer data and the time you remove the
module is lost. The monitor indicates this lost information as a gap in the trends of the parameters
involved when you retrieve the data.
•To provide seamless trend information, remove the module and insert it into the receiving monitor
within 30 to 45 seconds after you transfer the data. If there is a delay in completing the data shuttle,
update the transfer data just before you remove the module.
•If the module has been out of the monitor for 10 or more minutes, all data will be lost.

Battery Status
Battery status conditions are indicated as follows:
Solid Green LED
A solid green LED indicates the external power supply is connected to the AC mains power and does not
indicate the battery charge level. Only a charging cycle or a faulty battery will cause the green LED to flash,
and these conditions only occur when a battery is installed in the monitor.
Flashing Green LED — Battery Charging
A flashing green LED indicates a battery, or batteries, installed in the monitor are being charged and are not
ready to be used.
A flashing LED turns on and off in a constant pattern with no delays. It functions with the monitor powered ON
or OFF. The flashing is different than the battery fault detection flash.
Note:
The green LED will stop flashing and glow solid when the charging cycle is complete.
Ultraview Care Network Operations Manual5-15
Bedside/Transport Monitors
Intermittent Flashing Green LED — Battery Fault Detected
An intermittent flashing green LED indicates that either battery A or battery B is faulty. Faulty batteries are
determined to be batteries which do not hold a charge or batteries which attempt to charge too long.
The intermittent signal will display a solid green LED for one second and then display a flashing LED for one
second in a repeating pattern. An error message is also added to the error log for review by your system
administrator.
To determine whether one battery, or both, are faulty, power the monitor ON using the front panel switch and
observe the display message. The message will display along the bottom of the monitor indicating whether
one, or both, of the batteries are faulty. Replace the faulty battery with the same battery type.
Battery Gauge
The battery gauge is always present in the lower right corner of the display when the monitor is operating on
batteries (powered ON and not plugged into AC power). This gauge indicates the approximate battery
capacity. For example, the gauge will display:
•a fully charged battery
•3/4 battery charge remaining
•1/2 battery charge remaining
•1/4 battery charge remaining
•minimum battery charge remaining
Note:
•Recordings are automatically inhibited when the battery power reaches 1/2 battery charge remaining.
•Recordings drain large amounts of power and could cause the monitor to power OFF without warning.
•When the battery power becomes critically low (approximately 1/4 battery charge remaining), the entire
battery gauge flashes to emphasize this warning. The monitor may power OFF at any time, depending
on monitor loading.
•Upon power OFF, the monitor will cease to function.

Wireless Network Interface
The Wireless Network Interface (WNI) provides Ultraview 1030/1050 monitors equipped with the wireless
option to communicate with the Spacelabs Healthcare Ethernet network. This enables the wireless bedside
monitor to communicate with a central station and other networked devices.
The WNI provides wireless transmission of up to five waveforms along with associated numerics, alarms,
trends, arrhythmia, ST, and Flexport Interface Systems data.
Alarm Watch and Remote Trends are not restricted. Bed-to-bed communications enable a bedside to use the
Remote View or Alarm Watch features to view data from other beds on the wireless or hard-wired network.
Outbound Parameters Menu
To view the Outbound Parameters menu, touch the OUTBOUND PARAMETERS key in the Monitor Setup
menu.
When a parameter key is ON, the parameter is available for selection in another monitor’s Remote View menu
and Select Outbound Parameters menu. If two parameters have identical labels, both parameters will
display. The maximum number of parameters that can be set depends upon the monitor’s specific
configuration for wireless networking. When the maximum number of parameters is reached, the remaining
parameters that were not selected become unavailable. The monitor’s default outbound parameter selection is
ECG1 when turned ON.
All parameters, including the parameters that are set to OFF in this menu, are displayed by other monitors that
are set to ALARM WATCH this monitor. If an outbound parameter is set to OFF, all existing remote views for
that parameter will be dropped.
Note:
Setting OTHER to ON selects any unlisted channel types such as VARI, CO, and unlabeled pressures.
To select parameters for display at remote monitors:
•Touch MONITOR SETUP.
•Touch OUTBOUND PARAMETERS.
•Select the parameters you wish to display (up to five).
To change parameters for display at remote monitors:
