You can silence and enable the Narkomed's continuous audible alarms
with the top two system control keys, located next to the left-hand
screen.
NOTE: You can set alarm limits and control the respiratory
volume and apnea alarms with the monitor control keys.
These alarm functions are discussed in the following
sections: "Oxygen Monitoring," "Respiratory Volume
Monitoring," and "Breathing Pressure Monitoring."
Use the Audible Alarm Silence key to temporarily silence continuous
audible alarms:
• Press once for 60 seconds of silence.
• Press twice for 120 seconds of silence.
After you press the Audible Alarm Silence key, a message indicating the
silence condition and the silence time remaining is displayed in the
Advisory section of the central alarm display. If a new alarm occurs
during the Audio Silence period, a single tone pattern sounds
corresponding to the priority of the alarm. After the Audio Silence
period, audio annunciation reverts to normal operation if no alarms are
active at that time.
NOTE: All continuous audible alarms are automatically silenced
for 120 seconds following power-up. During this period, the
occurrence of a new alarm will produce a non-repeating
tone pattern appropriate for that alarm's level of urgency.
To enable continuous audible alarms that have been silenced, press the
Alarm Enable key.
The audible alarms are immediately enabled.
