Setting the alarm limits
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
If the alarm limits are not adapted to the
patient and the required therapy, the patient
may be endangered.
Set the alarm limits accordingly.
CAUTION
Risk of patient injury due to incorrect settings
If several identical or similar devices are used in
the care areas, the alarm limits of the devices can
be configured differently and therefore be
unsuitable for the current patient.
Check the alarm limits and adapt them to the
current patient and the required therapy.
Make sure that extreme or disabled alarm limits
do not render the alarm system useless.
Opening the Alarms dialog window
Touch the Alarms... button in the main menu
