Alarms

Alarms warn you about an abnormal patient condition.
An alarm turns on when:

range, or
• the patient's pulse rate reading matches or exceeds the pulse
rate alarm range.
During an alarm:
• the numbers flash that correspond to the alarm.
• the alarm tone sounds, if not silenced. The alarm tone sounds
like a siren: dee, doo, dee, doo.
NOTE! Both the SpO
ings match or go beyond their alarm range.
