Alarm limits and setting ranges
In the following table, the alarm limits are listed with

if the electrical power supply is interrupted.

WARNING
Risk of patient injury
If the alarm limits are not adapted to the pa-
tient and the required therapy, the patient may
be endangered.
Set the alarm limits accordingly.
CAUTION
Risk of patient injury due to incorrect settings
If several identical or similar devices are used in
the same care area, the alarm limits of the devices
can be configured differently and therefore be un-
suitable for the current patient.
Check the alarm limits and adapt them to the cur-
rent patient and the required therapy. Make sure
that extreme or disabled alarm limits do not render
the alarm system useless.
