Alarms
The monitor has audible and visual alarm indicators to alert the operator in case immediate patient
attention is required or an equipment alarm occurs (figure 14). An audible or visual alarm remains
active until the condition is no longer present. Each parameter can only have one high or low limit
alarm at a time.
The Audio Pause button temporarily silences audible alarms for 2 minutes. The operator can
reactivate the audible alarm before the 2 minutes are up by pressing the button again.
NOTE: If a new alarm activates while the trend screen is displayed, the trend screen closes and
the display returns to the operating screen so the alarm condition is visible.
The intended operator's position for correctly perceiving a visual alarm signal and its priority is 1 meter
(3.3 feet).

High Priority Alarms
High priority alarms require immediate attention to the patient. An alarm (table 7) occurs if any of the
parameters are outside the defined limits.
High priority alarms are both audible and visual.
