Arrhythmia Alarms And Parameter Alarms; Alarm Pause Breakthrough - GE DASH 3000 V5 Quick Reference Manual

Arrhythmia Alarms and
Parameter Alarms are very
different and help ensure alarm
processing of patient data.
• Arrhythmia Alarms: Refers to
the specific, interpretive, ECG
algorithm processing
conditions.
• Parameter Alarms: Refers to
the individual parameter
window label and limit
violations.
NOTE: Only arrhythmia alarm waveforms are stored in alarm
history. No information is stored in the alarm history for
parameter alarms.

Alarm Pause Breakthrough:

The Alarm Pause Breakthrough
feature allows any crisis alarm to
"break through" or interrupt an
alarm pause with an audible
alarm. When a crisis alarm
breaks through the alarm pause
feature, the alarms will sound
and the event will print, but no
storage of that event will be
found in the Alarm History.
This option is set up in the
monitor defaults.
