CAUTION
Risk of patient injury due to incorrect settings
If several identical or similar devices are being
used in the care areas, the alarm limits of the
devices may be configured differently and
therefore not be appropriate for the current
patient.
– Check the alarm limits and adjust them to the
current patient and the required therapy.
– Ensure that extreme or deactivated alarm
limits do not render the alarm system useless.
