Alarms

11.4.1
The status field at the top of the monitoring screen contains information
describing overall monitoring system status and any active alarms. If multiple
alarms occur during user interaction with a menu or dialog box, the list of
alarm messages collapses to a single line listing the total number of alarms cur-
rently active. Cancellation or dismissal of an alarm message requires user inter-
vention, whereas status messages do not. The message identifies the alarm or
status. If it is an alarm, it offers users a MORE INFO button, which when
pressed, provides detailed data and a means to correct the situation or clear
the alarm. Press DISMISS ALARM to clear the alarm if that is an option. If it is
not an option, take the recommended action. If that does not clear the alarm,
reset it. If a reset does not clear the alarm, return it for service.

Note:
Not all high-priority alarms have a DISMISS ALARM option. These are serious errors
and require the user to resolve the issue or return the monitoring system to Covidien
or a qualified service technician.
