Setting Alarms - ZOLL M Series Manual

Setting Alarms

Before taking a measurement, ensure that all the NIBP alarms settings are appropriate for the
situation. See the M Series Operator's Guide for instructions on setting alarms. When an NIBP or
heart rate alarm is triggered, the unit automatically initiates a single blood pressure measurement. See
the M Series Configuration Guide for instructions on how to enable/disable this automatic
measurement.
The M Series NIBP option includes blood pressure alarms for the following measurements:
Table 4 Alarm Limit Settings and Defaults
Patient Type
Adult
Pediatric*
Neonate*
* Neonatal and pediatric NIBP modes available on M Series CCT units only.
When the M Series unit is turned on, all alarm functions are disabled and the alarm limits are set to
their default values. Any changes to these settings remain in effect until either the settings are changed
or 10 seconds after the M Series unit is turned off. On M Series CCT units, you can configure the
default alarm limits at power-up according to patient type; see the M Series Configuration Guide for
more information.
You can change all the alarm limits using standard M Series procedures. See the M Series Operator's
Setting Alarm
Limits Guide for instructions on setting alarm limits.
You can set the alarm limits using the Auto function, or you can choose your own limits (see Table
4 on page 11). The Auto function sets the high limit to 30 mmHg (4.0 kPa) above and the low limit to
20 mmHg (2.7 kPa) below the last measurement.
