Monitor system maintenance

Improper or even wrong settings of the monitor system often cause problems for medical workers. For example: there is an ECG waveform but no heart rate; blood pressure cannot be measured for hypertensive patients; all parameters are displayed normally but the alarm is constant, etc. These may be caused by incorrect system settings.
