Alarm Setup - EDAN M8 Series User Manual

Patient Monitor User Manual
Alarm Sound
The high/medium/low-level alarms are indicated by the system in following different audio ways:
Alarm level
High
Medium
Low
The sound pressure range for audible alarm signals is from 45 dB to 85 dB.
1. Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring.
Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level or off during patient monitoring may result
in patient danger. Remember that the most reliable method of patient monitoring
combines close personal surveillance with correct operation of monitoring equipment.
2. Ensure the volume is properly set up. When the sound pressure of audible alarm is
below or equivalent to the ambient noise, it may be difficult for the operator to
distinguish the audio alarm.
NOTE:
1 When alarms of different levels occur at the same time, the monitor prompts the one
of the highest level.
2 If the monitor is powered off and then turned on, the alarm setup can resume to the
setup which is set before the power-off.
