Chapter 7 - Alarms and Indicators

Audible and visual indications are given to alert the Operator to specified conditions
that affect operation. The electronic alarm limits are automatically set after two
minutes without the necessity of Operator inputs.
Alarms can be manually set at any time if required (i.e. after settings change or
patient disconnect/ reconnect) by pressing the Alarm Mute / Reset button for 3
seconds.
Alarm Priority
On activation of a MEDIUM or HIGH priority alarm, a locked screen will automatically
revert to the unlocked display. The alarm status indicator flashes intermittently,
based on the current, highest alarm priority. Distinct audible alarms represent a
HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW priority alarm.
Measured parameters and alarm limits associated with a high or medium priority
alarm condition flash RED (HIGH priority) or YELLOW (MEDIUM priority) to denote
alarm condition and priority.
Silencing audible alarms
Pressing the Alarm Mute / Reset button will silence active alarms for up to 30
seconds. If a new high priority alarm condition occurs during the alarm silence time
period, the silence will be cancelled to alert the operator of the new alarm condition.
Resetting alarms
Press the Alarm Mute / Reset button for 3 seconds to clear resolved and LOW
Priority alarms and to reset alarm limits (i.e. after a control setting change). Where
the alarm cause remains, the appropriate alarm will immediately reoccur.
Audible alarm priority
High Priority – a series of 10 tones (2 groups of 3 tones followed by a pause and 2
more tones) every 10 seconds
Medium Priority – three audible tones every 15 seconds
Low Priority – two audible tones every 30 seconds
