Icons in parameter frames
The icons in the parameter frames indicate alarm notification settings. When alarm limits
are on, the icons will be gray until an alarm occurs. Then, the icons will change color to
indicate the priority of the alarm. Red icons represent high priority alarms, and amber
icons represent medium or low priority alarms.
Priority
WARNING Patient injury risk. If you are relying on visual alarm
notifications, maintain a clear line of sight with the monitor and/or Nurse
Call. Set the volume as needed considering the environment and ambient
noise levels.
WARNING Patient injury risk. Do not set the alarm parameters to extreme
levels. Setting extreme parameters could render the alarm system useless,
causing the potential for patient injury.
Description
The area changes color and displays a message with an accompanying status icon or
button. If the alarm tone is in a pause interval, a timer countdown appears.
If multiple alarms and information messages are active, the Device Status area shows the
highest priority alarm. If the alarms are equal in priority, the most recent alarm message
appears. You can cycle through the messages for each active alarm.
The frame of the parameter brick flashes in the color of the alarm priority. Touch this area
to pause or turn off an alarm audio tone. Visual indicators and Nurse Call notification will
persist during an audio paused condition.
The icon in this control indicates the status of the alarm limit settings. Red and amber
icons indicate measurements that have exceeded alarm limits.
Touch this control to navigate to a parameter-specific tab where you can modify alarm
limit settings.
