sat801+ Pulse Oximeter
Alarms
53
For canceling short and therefore irrelevant alarm conditions, an alarm filter can be set.
The alarm filter produces a “silent alarm”. During the set alarm filter time period (adjustable
between 0=OFF and 20 seconds maximum), the occurrence of an alarm condition for oxygen
saturation and/or pulse rate will NOT lead to an acoustical nor optical alarm. After the above
mentioned alarm filter time period, the alarm will be generated. If in the meantime the source of
the alarm condition will vanish, there will be no alarm at all.
The alarm filters can be configured individually for SpO2 low and also for pulse rate high.
This feature will increase user compliance by suppressing short alarm periods.
The alarm filters are deactivated when shipped from the factory. (0=OFF)
8.3 Alarm categories
There are four alarm categories:
– High-priority alarms
require immediate user intervention in order to avoid possible damage to the patient.
– Mid-level priority alarms
show a technical problem and require immediate user intervention.
– Low-level alarms
require heightened attention from the user.
