Alarms may be high priority, medium priority, or low priority. When an
alarm occurs during a case, an alarm tone sounds and the alarm
message is displayed in the alarm message field. The system
checks for alarm conditions at 1 second intervals. The alarm tone is
from 43 to 78 db(A) depending on the alarm volume setting.
No repair should ever be attempted by anyone not having
experience in the repair of devices of this nature. See the
"Repair policy" in the "User maintenance" section.
If an alarm occurs, safeguard the patient first before
performing troubleshooting or doing repair procedures.
Alarm priority is indicated by the color of the alarm message and the
audio sequence.
•
High-priority alarm messages appear in white text on a red
background.
•
Medium-priority alarm messages appear in black text on a
yellow background.
•
Low-priority alarms appear in black text on a blue background.
Selecting Audio Pause for an active alarm stops the audible tone for
120 seconds. The alarm message shows in the alarm message field.
Selecting Audio Pause when no medium or high priority alarms are
active prevents the audible alarm tones (audio off) for 90 seconds.
Alarms in the apnea alarm family have special silence behavior to
reduce apnea nuisance alarms. Apnea family alarms include
'Apnea', 'EtCO2 low', 'MVexp low', 'RR low', and 'TVexp low'.
When pausing an apnea family alarm, the audio tone for the active
alarm is paused for 120 seconds. The audible tone for any additional
apnea family alarm that occurs during the audio paused period is
silenced for the remaining time shown on the audio pause
countdown. Only the audible alarm tone is silenced. The alarm
messages still show in the alarm message fields. 'APN' shows above
the audio pause countdown when the audible tone silence is in effect
for the apnea family alarms.
