only).
NOTE

Latched alarms

When alarms are latched, the audible alarm and visual message remain after the
alarm condition no longer exists. The audible alarm can be paused with the pause
audio key, and this also clears the alarm message from the screen. Alarms can be
configured to latch for high priority alarms only, all alarm priorities, or none. Only
physiological alarms can be latched. The Latching Alarms setting is configured in the
Care Unit Settings and it is password protected.
For more information, see the supplemental information provided.
