5 Alarms

5.1 Overview

The monitor gives audible or visual alarms to indicate the medical staff when a vital sign of

the patient appears abnormal, or mechanical or electrical problems occur to the monitor.

WARNING

 A potential hazard can exist if different alarm presets are used for the same or

similar equipment in any single area, e.g. an intensive care unit or cardiac operating

room.

NOTE

 For details about alarm setup of this monitor, please refer to 5.5 Setting Alarms.

5.1.1 Alarm Categories

By nature, the alarms are divided into three categories: physiological alarms, technical

alarms and prompt information.

1. Physiological alarms

A physiological alarm either indicates that a monitored physiological parameter goes

beyond specified limits or indicates an abnormal patient condition. For example, no pulse is

detected.

2. Technical alarms

A technical alarm indicates that the monitor or parts of the monitor is not capable of

accurately monitoring the patient’s condition due to improper operation or system failure.

Technical alarms are also referred to as system error messages. For example, an error occurs

during module initialization.

3. Prompt information

As a matter of fact, prompt messages are not alarm messages. They are usually information

relating to the system status, but not concerning vital signs of patients. For example, the

monitor prompts “REC INITIALIZING”.
