7.3. About the alarm
7.3.1. Alarm Categories
The monitor has two different types of alarms: physiological alarms and technical
alarm.
Physiological alarms: Physiological alarms are triggered by a monitored
parameter value that violates set alarm limits or an abnormal patient
condition.
Technical alarms: Technical alarms are triggered by a device malfunction due
to improper operation or system problems. The problems may result in
system abnormal operation or irresponsible monitoring parameters.
Apart from the physiological and technical alarm messages, the monitor will also
display some information related to system status or patient status.
7.3.2. Alarm Priority
By severity, the patient monitor’s alarms can be classified into three categories:
High priority: Indicate that the patient is in a life threatening situation or a
severe device malfunction, and an emergency treatment is necessary.
Medium priority:
Indicate that your patient’s vital signs appear abnormal, a
severe device malfunction or an improper operation, and an immediate
treatment is required.
Low priority: Indicate that the patient’s vital signs appear abnormal,
a severe
device malfunction or an improper operation,
the user needs to know the
current situation.
Prompt: Prompt patient and system status information.
