BED ALERT CONDITION CONFIGURATION USING A REMOTE COMPUTER DEVICE

摘要

A patient support apparatus, such as a hospital bed, includes an alert light assembly having indicators that are individually illuminated to convey information regarding respective alert conditions. The indicators each have indicia related to a particular condition of the patient support apparatus. The illuminated indicators are each sufficiently large so as to be seen from afar, such as on the order of ten feet or more.
