MEDUCORE Standard
The device emits an alarm as long as the cause continues to exist.
Once the cause of the alarm no longer exists, the device no longer
emits the alarm. This does not apply to NIBP measurement alarms
or the battery operation alarm. These are only displayed for
10 seconds and then go out of their own accord.
The device emits physiological and technical alarms. Every alarm
has a certain priority.

If more than one alarm is active, the device handles this as follows:
•
Multiple alarms of different priorities: The device displays the
alarm with the highest priority. Alarms with a lower priority do
not appear until the higher-priority alarm is no longer active.
•
Multiple alarms of identical priorities: The device displays the
alarms alternately.

Meaning
High-priority alarms warn of imminent
fatal or irreversible patient injuries or
of device faults.
Medium-priority alarms warn of
immediate reversible patient injuries
or of minor device faults.
Low-priority alarms warn of delayed
minor injuries or inconvenience to the
patient or minor restrictions on the
device.
