visual alarm indicators.

individual patient.

Alarm Priorities
Each alarm is categorized as high, medium, or low priority. In general, only the highest priority
alarm is displayed. For example, if a patient alarm (high priority) is active at the same time as a
remote alarm cable fault (medium priority), the remote alarm cable fault will not be displayed. The
following is an exception to this general rule:
•
During a low battery alarm (medium priority), the low battery indicator in the battery
gauge will always flash even if the other alarms are active.
nOTe: Some medium priority alarms are generated when the device detects an internal
malfunction. During these conditions, the oximeter does not monitor a patient. no
high priority alarms can occur.
nOTe: During low priority alarms conditions, the patient is not being monitored. no high
priority alarms can occur.
