Patient Alarms and INOPs

This chapter lists patient alarms and technical alarms (INOPs) alphabetically, irrespective of their priority. INOPs start on page 59.

For information on alarms and INOPs from the gas modules refer to your Gas Module Instructions for Use.

Patient Alarm Messages

The measurement labels and abbreviations for pressure, temperature, SpO2, and anesthetic agent alarms are explained in the individual chapters.

Some alarms may be shown at the Information Center in shortened form, when transferred through IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry (USA only). These shortened alarm texts are included in the list and identified with the note “at Information Center”.

Note that yellow arrhythmia alarms (“short yellow alarms”) may be shown with one or with two stars, depending on your monitor configuration and the Information Center revision you are using.

Refer to your Gas Module Instructions for Use for patient alarms and INOPs from the gas modules.
