Alarms Alarm Introduction This chapter describes alarm functions and alarm settings. Physiological alarms are available only when the monitor is in Continuous Monitoring mode. Alarm Safety Information WARNING • A potential hazard can exist if different alarm presets and default configuration settings are used for the same or similar equipment in the same care area, for example an intensive care unit or cardiac operating room.
Understanding the Alarms 7.3.1 Alarm Categories The monitor has two different types of alarms: physiological alarms and technical alarms. ■ Physiological alarms are triggered by patient measurement exceeding the parameter limits, or by an abnormal patient conditions. ■ Technical alarms are triggered by an electrical, mechanical, or other monitor failure, or by failure of a sensors or components.

7.3.4 Alarm Status Symbols Apart from the alarm indicators as described in 7.3.3 Alarm Indicators, the monitor uses the following symbols to indicate the alarm status: Alarm pause: indicates that all the alarms are paused. Alarm off: indicates that individual measurement alarms are turned off or the system is in the alarm off status.
You can also change the parameter alarm properties based on the condition of the current patient. To do so, follow this procedure: Select the Main Menu quick key → from the Alarm column select Limits. Enter the password if required. Select a parameter tab and set alarm properties as desired.
Select the Alarm tab → Audio tab. Set High Alarm Interval, Med Alarm Interval, and Low Alarm Interval: Item Range Default High Alarm Interval 3 s to 15 s 10 s Med Alarm Interval 3 s to 30 s 20 s Med Alarm Interval 16 s to 30 s 20 s...
Select the Limits tab. On the Limits page, select Defaults at the bottom. 7.6.6 Setting the CMS and eGateway Disconnection Alarm You can choose whether to issue an alarm when the monitor is not connected or disconnected from the CMS/eGateway, and set the priority of these alarms. This setting is password protected.
7.7.2 Pausing Alarms If the pause function is designated as pausing alarms, pressing the Alarm Pause quick key can temporarily disable alarm indicators. When alarms are paused, the following rules are followed: ■ No physiological alarm will be presented. ■ For technical alarms, alarm sounds are paused, but alarm lamps and alarm messages remain presented.
7.7.2.4 Switching Off All Alarms If Pause Time is set to Permanent (see 18.6.2 The Pause/Reset Tab), pressing the Alarm Pause quick key permanently switches off all alarms. The alarm off status has the following features: ■ Physiological alarms are switched off. The alarm lamp does not flash and alarm sound is not issued.
NOTE • Prolonging alarm pause time does not affect the setting of alarm tone pause time. 7.7.3.3 Setting the Priority of Audio Paused Alarms You can select alarm sound of what priority can be paused. This function is password protected. For more information, see 18.6.2 The Pause/Reset Tab. 7.7.3.4 Switching Off Alarm Sound If Pause Time is set to Permanent, pressing the Audio Pause quick key permanently...
7.8.2 Resetting Technical Alarms Technical alarms give different alarm indicators when the alarm system is reset: ■ Some technical alarms are cleared. The monitor gives no alarm indications. ■ Some technical alarms are changed to the prompt messages. For some technical alarms, the alarm is silenced and a √ appears before the alarm ■...
7.10 Nurse Call The monitor provides a nurse call connector to output nurse call signal when a user- defined alarm occurs. To obtain nurse call signal, use the nurse call cable to connect the hospital nurse call system with the monitor’s nurse call connector. Alarms are indicated on the nurse call device only when the following conditions are met: ■...
NOTE • The SpO extension cable should be compatible with the SpO connectors. For example, you can only connect the Mindray SpO extension cable to the Mindray SpO connectors. • A functional tester or SpO simulator can be used to determine the pulse rate accuracy.
Safety Information WARNING • When a trend toward patient deoxygenation is indicated, analyze the blood samples with a laboratory co-oximeter to completely understand the patient’s condition. • Do not use SpO sensors during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Induced current could potentially causes burns. The sensor may affect the MRI image, and the MRI unit may affect the accuracy of the oximetry measurements.
CAUTION • Change the application site or replace the sensor and/or patient cable when a persistent SpO2 Low Signal Quality message is displayed on the equipment. These messages may indicate that patient monitoring time is exhausted on the patient cable or sensor. •...

Select an appropriate sensor according to the module type, patient category, weight, and measurement site. Clean the contact surface of the reusable sensor. Remove colored nail polish, earrings, or other extraneous matter from the application site. Apply the sensor to the patient according to the instruction for use of the sensor. Select an appropriate extension cable according to the connector type and plug the cable into the SpO connector.
NOTE • The desat alarm is a high level alarm notifying you of potentially life threatening drops in oxygen saturation. When the SpO2 value is below the desat alarm limit and desat alarm switch is set on, the message “SpO2 Desat” is displayed.
After approximately 10.9 seconds, a Sat-Second alarm would sound, because the limit of 50 Sat-Seconds would have been exceeded. %SpO Seconds Saturation levels may fluctuate rather than remaining steady for a period of several seconds. Often, the patient SpO may fluctuate above and below an alarm limit, re- entering the non-alarm range several times.
8.6.4 Setting SpO Sensitivity (for Masimo SpO For Masimo SpO , selects the Sensitivity as per signal quality and patient motion. Normal sensitivity is the recommended for patients who are experiencing some compromise in blood flow or perfusion. It is advisable for care areas where patients are observed frequently, such as the intensive care unit (ICU).

Measuring Noninvasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) 11.1 NIBP Introduction The monitor uses the oscillometric method for measuring the non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP). NIBP measurement is based on the principle that pulsatile blood flow through an artery creates oscillations of the arterial wall. The oscillometric device uses a blood pressure cuff to sense these oscillations that appear as tiny pulsations in cuff pressure.
11.2 NIBP Safety Information WARNING • Be sure to select the correct patient category setting for your patient before NIBP measurement. Do not apply the higher adult settings for pediatric or neonatal patients. Otherwise, it may present a safety hazard. •...
• Accuracy of NIBP measurement depends on using a cuff of proper size. It is essential to measure limb circumference and choose a cuff with proper size. 11.3 NIBP Measurement Limitations Measurement is impossible with heart rate extremes of less than 30 bpm or greater than 300 bpm, or if the patient is on a heart-lung machine.

• The operator should not touch the cuff or tubing during NIBP measurement. • Other factors that have been shown to result in an overestimation of blood pressure are labored breathing, full bladder, pain etc. 11.6.2 Placing the NIBP Cuff To place the NIBP cuff, follow this procedure: Verify that the patient category setting is correct.
• Use care when placing the cuff on an extremity used for monitoring other patient parameters. 11.7 Performing Measurement This section describes the procedure to start manual, auto, STAT, and sequence measurement.
