When active alarms are silenced at the CIC Pro center or at a monitor, the CIC Pro
center displays an alarm silence icon in the ECG parameter window.
This icon remains displayed for the duration of the alarm silence condition or until a
new alarm condition occurs.
When viewing a single, in-unit patient from the CIC Pro center, you may temporarily
adjust the monitor Alarm Control settings.
WARNING
ALARM CONTROL SETTINGS—If you adjust parameter limits or
alarm levels at the CIC Pro center, these setting changes are also
implemented by the bedside monitor. You must notify the bedside
caregiver that you changed the parameter limit or alarm levels of
that bedside monitor.
NOTE
The following guidelines apply to changing Alarm Control settings at the CIC
Pro center:
The changes you make to the settings apply to the selected patient only and
are adopted by the patient's monitor.
Some control settings for non-GE acquisition devices that are interfaced via
the Unity Network Interface Device or the OCTANET interface device are
not adjustable.
It may be necessary to use the scroll bar at the right side of the window to
view the appropriate alarm.
The control settings that are blue in color indicate this setting has already
been adjusted from the default value.
The patient or the acquisition device must be located in-unit.
Any out-of-unit patient alarm settings can be viewed, but not changed.
NOTE
The Dinamap PRO monitors' alarm limits are not configurable at the CIC Pro
center, but they can be silenced at the CIC Pro center. However, alarms that are
silenced at the CIC Pro center will not be silenced at the monitor. Refer to the
Dinamap Pro 100–400 Operation Manual for detailed information.
