ISO/IEC Standard Audible Alarms
• Red alarms and red INOPs: A high pitched tone is repeated five times, followed by a configurable
• Two-star yellow alarms and yellow INOPs: A lower pitched tone is repeated three times, followed by
• One-star yellow alarms (short yellow alarms): The audible indicator is the same as for yellow alarms,
• Standard INOPs: a lower pitched tone is repeated twice, followed by a pause.
Changing the Alarm Tone Volume
♦
When the alarm volume is set to zero (off), the alarm volume symbol reflects this. If you
switch the alarm volume off, you will not get any audible indication of alarm conditions.
There is no alarm volume indication on the X2 display when the X2 is connected to a host monitor
(Companion Mode is indicated).
Minimum Volume for No Central Monitoring INOP
If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, and the connection is interrupted, the INOP
message No Central Monit. will appear within 30 seconds, accompanied by an INOP tone. To
help ensure that this INOP, and any other active alarm, is not overlooked, the INOP and alarm tones
may be configured to have a minimum volume. In this case, INOP and alarm tones will sound even if
the monitor alarm volume is set to zero.
Minimum Volume for Severe Yellow or Red INOPs
Severe yellow or red INOPs require action to ensure the well-being of the patient. Therefore the
minimum volume for the INOP tone is set to at least alarm volume 8, irrespective of the current alarm
volume setting. The INOP tone will sound even if the monitor alarm volume is set to zero.
The severe INOPs for which this applies are:
Cuff Not Deflated (configurable to yellow or red)
NBP Cuff Overpress (configurable to yellow or red)
Insert Battery (yellow)
