Quick Reference Table--Apnea Alarm submenu
The following table explains apnea alarm submenu
functions.
Smart Apnea
In OR mode only, the monitor automatically engages the Smart Apnea feature for RRc* apnea alarms if
RRc Apnea Time is set to a selection other than OFF in the etCO2 parameter menu.The Smart Alarm
feature escalates an apnea alarm in the following manner:
To illustrate, if RRc Apnea Time is set to 10 seconds and if an apnea alarm condition is present for
10 seconds, an attention tone annunciates and the alarm message RRc @ Apnea displays. If the apnea
alarm condition continues for 20 seconds, another attention tone annunciates and the alarm message
remains on the monitor. At 30 seconds, a medium-priority alarm annunciates. At 60 seconds a high-
priority alarm annunciates.
Capnograms
The monitor also displays an instantaneous CO2 waveform or capnogram.
