Advisory Alarms
An advisory alarms has the lowest priority. It can result from one
of three conditions:
When the monitor cannot produce a parameter value due to a
!
technical problem (e.g. a lead-off condition).
A patient cable or accessory failure (e.g. a blocked line in the
!
pressure cuff).
The presence of persistent artifact.
!
An advisory alarm has the following characteristics:
The parameter box blinks and appears white.
!
The monitor produces a single tone followed by a 1½ second
!
pause, continuously.
The monitor displays the alarm cause in both the parameter
!
box and the message area.
The monitor stops the alarm automatically when the condi-
!
tion ceases to exist.
The monitor stops the alarm when a new alarm of equal or
!
higher grade is triggered.
