Level
Each alarm, either technical or physiological, has its own level. For alarm of higher level, when it occurs,
the system will give prompt in a more alert way. Some alarm ’ s level can be set by the user via software.
Others can not by changed once defined by the system. Alarms in the monitor are divided into 7 levels,
that is, high, medium and low.
High-level alarm indicates the patient ’ s life is in danger or the monitor under using has serious problem
in technical respect. It is the most serious alarm.
Medium-level alarm means serious warning.
Low-level alarm is a general warning.
Alarms are classified into three categories, which are physiological alarm, technical alarm and general
alarm. Physiological alarm refer to those alarms triggered by patient ’ s physiological situation which
could be considered dangerous to his or her life, such as heart rate (HR) exceeding alarm limit
( parameter alarms ). Technical alarm refer to system failure which can make certain monitoring process
technically impossible or make monitoring result unbelievable. Technical alarm is also called System
Error Message. General alarm belongs to those situations that can not be categorize d into these two
cases but still need to pay some attention.
The monitor has preset the alarm level for the parameters.
You
can also modify the alarm level using
the method described in this chapter.
Alarm level of the System Error Message (technical alarm) is pre-set in the system.
All technical alarm level and general alarm level, some of the physiological alarm level are pre-set in
the system and can not be changed by user.
