window automatically displays when a patient is admitted to the monitor. It records
any patient status alarms set to CRISIS, WARNING and ADVISORY.
Active alarms display in red. Resolved alarms are the designated color for that
parameter.
The four most recently resolved alarms are displayed in chronological order with the
extreme parameter value and timestamp. The extreme numerical value for all active,
