Alarm Levels
In terms of severity, the oximeter’s alarms levels can be
classified into three categories: high level alarms,
medium level alarms and low level alarms.
1. High level alarms
Indicate that the patient is in a life threatening
situation and an emergency treatment is demanded.
2. Medium level alarms
The patient’s vital signs appear abnormal or the
oximeter system status appears abnormal, indicate
that prompt operator response is required.
3. Low level alarms
The patient’s vital signs appear abnormal or the
oximeter system status appears abnormal, indicate
that operator awareness is required.
The levels for both technical alarms and physiological
alarms are predefined and can not be changed by the
user.
