When the monitor gives out an alarm and catches your attention, you should:
- Check the patient‟s condition.
- Identify the cause of the alarm.
- Silence the alarm if necessary.
- Check if the alarm is terminated when the alarm condition is solved.
When the monitored parameter(s) come(s) back within the adjusted limits, or if the abnormal
technical condition does not exist any longer, the monitor stops giving out the alarm.
If “Transducer Unplugged” is enabled (set to “ON”), and you press the confirming transducer
unplugged alarm key on the main interface to confirm any active transducer unplugged
alarms: US1 UNPLUGGED, US2 UNPLUGGED, TOCO UNPLUGGED, IUP UNPLUGGED,
DECG UNPLUGGED, SpO2 SENSOR OFF, TEMP UNPLUGGED, US1 SIGNAL LOSS and
US2 SIGNAL LOSS during the monitoring process, the transducer unplugged alarm(s) will be
turned off audibly and visually until any of them occurs again. But the transducer unplugged
alarm(s) still exist(s) in the alarms review list.
