Alarms and Limits This chapter describes alarms and limits for Aulisa GA2000 System. Alarms The Display Unit provides high and medium priority audible and visual alarms. High Priority Alarms High priority alarms are those that require immediate attention to the patient.
Page 29
Alarm limits may be adjusted by pressing ʻʻALARM LIMITSʼʼ button after silencing the alarms. (See “Adjusting Alarm Limits” section on page 29 for more information.) Medium Priority Alarms Medium priority alarms are those that signal potential problems with the equipment or other non-life-threatening situations. On the Display Unit, medium priority alarms are indicated with slow blinking yellow displays and with alarm text message.
Page 30
Medium priority audio alarms are: 3 beeps and 25-second pause. This sequence repeats until the alarm is cleared or silenced. Tap on ʻʻPAUSE AUDIOʼʼ button to pause the alarm audio for 2 minutes. Tap on ʻʻAUDIO OFFʼʼ button to permanently turn off the alarm audio.
Page 31
WARNING! Silencing alarms does not mean the situation has been resolved. WARNING! Tapping on “AUDIO OFF” button will permanently silence the alarm audio of the current triggering alarm event. WARNING! A potential hazard exists if different alarm presets are used for the same or similar equipment in any single area.
Adjusting Alarm Limits Follow the instructions below to review or set alarm limits. To restore alarm settings to default values, refer to “Default Alarm Settings.” 1.
