Alarm Limits

Restarting Paused Alarms

♦To manually switch on alarm indication again after a pause, select the permanent key

Pause Alarms (or Alarms Off ) again.

Alarm indication starts again automatically after the pause period expires. If the monitor is configured to stay paused infinitely, you must select Alarms Off again to restart alarm indication.

Resetting Arrhythmia Alarm Timeouts

♦To reset the arrhythmia alarm timeout period, select the Alarms Off or Pause Alarms permanent key and then reselect it.

Extending the Alarm Pause Time

If your monitor has extended alarm pause enabled, you can extend the alarm pause time. Use this to prevent alarms being indicated, for example, while you are washing a patient or carrying out a procedure. Only extend the alarm pause time when you are sure that clinical personnel are available to monitor the patient’s condition closely.

To extend the alarm pause time to five or 10 minutes,

1Select one of the alarm fields. This calls up the Alarm Messages window.

2Select either the pop-up key Pause Al. 5 min or the pop-up key Pause Al. 10 min. Each time you select one of these pop-up keys, the Alarm Pause Time is reset to five (or 10) minutes.

Alarm Limits

The alarm limits you set determine the conditions that trigger yellow and red limit alarms. For some measurements (for example, BIS and SpO2), where the value ranges from 100 to 0, setting the high alarm limit to 100 switches the high alarm off, and setting the low alarm limit to 0 switches it off. In these cases, the alarms off symbol is not displayed.

WARNING Be aware that the monitors in your care area may each have different alarm settings, to suit different patients. Always check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient before you start monitoring.
