Alarm Display

The alarm messages are displayed across the top of the screen. When you switch the power on, the system alarm capability is switched off. This is indicated by an ALARMS SUSPENDED or ALARMS SUSPND 1, 2 or 3 MIN message at the top right corner of the screen, depending on the alarm suspended mode which is configured on the monitor. The Alarm Suspend symbol() on the control panel is also illuminated.

Note—When you switch the monitor on, a loudspeaker test is conducted for approximately 3 seconds. If there is no sound, please check the volume settings.

If there is more than one red alarm, yellow alarm or INOP message, you will see an up arrow ( ) next to the message. The messages are displayed in rotation every 2 seconds. If your patient has more than one alarm, you can see a list of all these active alarms in the Alarm Messages Task Window. To access this Task Window press Alarms/Volume or Alarms followed by Alarm Messages .

Warning

Alarms and INOPs are not active in the configuration and service modes, but are active in monitoring and demo modes.
