Setting the alarm limits

WARNING
Risk of patient injury
If the alarm limits are not adapted to the pa-
tient and the required therapy, the patient may
be endangered.
Set the alarm limits accordingly.
CAUTION
Risk of patient injury due to incorrect settings
If several identical or similar devices are used in
the same care area, the alarm limits of the devices
can be configured differently and therefore be un-
suitable for the current patient.
Check the alarm limits and adapt them to the cur-
rent patient and the required therapy. Make sure
that extreme or disabled alarm limits do not render
the alarm system useless.
When the device is switched on, the most recently
set alarm limits are always applied.
