ICU Touchscreen

The ICU has a touchscreen in the lid. The usage is both to give information about the status of the ICU and to enable setting up and making changes to the ICU configuration. It is also possible to shut down or restart the ICU.

Clicking on the three buttons on the left hand side switches between pages.

  • Status page, shows the current status of the ICU. If more than one status is active the screen will switch between status codes every few seconds
  • Network page, shows current network configuration and allows user to update settings
  • Power page, allows user to restart or shut down ICU, and to clear configuration
