Alarms and Limits Alarms and Limits The Model 7500 is equipped with audio and visual alarm indicators to alert the operator to provide immediate patient attention or to abnormal device conditions. High Priority Alarms High priority alarms require immediate attention to the patient. They include SpO pulse rate, and low perfusion alarms.
Alarms and Limits Alarm Summary The Model 7500 detects both patient and equipment alarms. In general, patient alarms are identified as high priority, while equipment alarms are identified as medium priority. High priority alarms always take priority over medium priority alarms. Alarm indicators remain active for as long as the alarm condition is present.
Reviewing and Setting Volume and Alarm Limits Reviewing and Setting Volume and Alarm Limits NOTE: Alarm limits reset themselves to default values each time the unit is powered up—unless the unit is in Patient Security mode. In Patient Security mode, alarm limits and volumes cannot be adjusted; they can only be viewed. WARNING: To comply with relevant product safety standards, ensure that all alarm volumes are set appropriately and are audible in all situations.
