Chapter 7 Alarm
7.1. Introduction
This chapter introduces the alarm function and the settings of the monitor.
7.2. Safety Information
WARNING：
A potential hazard can exist if different alarm presets are used for the same or
similar equipment in any single area, e.g. an intensive care unit or cardiac
operating room.
Alarm Settings for different monitors in the same area may vary to suit the
condition of the patient being monitored. Before starting the patient
monitoring, check whether the alarm setting is suitable for the patient, and
always open certain necessary alarm limits, and ensure that the alarm limit
setting is suitable for the patient.
Setting the alarm limit to the highest may invalidate the alarm system. For
example, high oxygen level can make premature infants infect crystalline post -
fibroplasias. If the SpO2 alarm high limit is set at 100%, it is equivalent to
disconnecting the upper limit alarm.
When the alarm sound is turned off, even if a new alarm is triggered, the
monitor will not emit an alarm sound. Therefore, the user must carefully select
whether to turn off the alarm sound. Check patient status frequently after
turning off alarm or alarm sound.
For patients who cannot be continuously treated by medical staff, the alarm
settings must be made according to the patient's condition.
Do not rely solely on an audible alarm system to monitor a patient. There may
be risks in adjusting the alarm sound to a lower volume. The alarm volume
should be large enough in the current monitoring environment and the actual
clinical condition of the patient should be paid close attention.
