2. Technical alarms
Technical alarms are triggered by a device malfunction
or a patient data distortion due to improper operation or
system problems. Technical alarm messages are displayed in
the technical alarm area.
3. Prompt messages
As a matter of fact, prompt messages are not alarm
messages. Apart from the physiological and technical alarm
messages, the pulse monitor will show some messages
telling the system status. Prompt messages are displayed in
the technical alarm area.
4.2 Alarm Levels
1. By severity, the pulse monitor’s physiological alarms
can be classified into three categories: high level
alarms, medium level alarms and low level alarms.
