Alarms
Pausing Active Alarm Tones
You can pause, or silence, audible alarm signals for
2 minutes. The following happens when you pause
alarms:
– All audible alarm signals are paused for a
maximum of 2 minutes. If the same alarm
condition occurs again after the alarm has been
paused, no audible or visual alarm signals are
generated.
– The parameter box and the alarm bar stop
blinking but appear solid in the alarm colour
corresponding to the alarm level (see page 76).
– The alarm message continues to be displayed
in the header bar.
–The Audio paused banner appears in the far-
right field of the header bar along with a
countdown timer and the following symbol:
If the condition of the patient is still unchanged after
the pause period, the audible alarm signal is
reactivated.
If one or more new alarm condition occurs during
an active audio pause period, the following
happens at the Cockpit:
– A single alarm tone sequence consisting of
several distinct tones sounds in addition to the
visual alarm signals for any new alarm condition
of a higher priority than the previous alarm
condition. Any alarm condition of equal or lower
alarm priority than the paused alarm does not
generate any visual or audible alarm signals.
– The parameter box of the new alarming
parameter flashes while the parameter box of
the previously paused alarm remains
highlighted.
The alarm messages for the alarm condition with
the highest alarm priority rotate in the alarm
message field of the header bar (see page 41). The
rotating alarm messages include alarm messages
for paused alarm conditions.
