5.1 Alarm Categories and Levels
Alarm Categories
The oximeter’s alarms can be classified into two categories:
physiological alarms and technical alarms.
1. Physiological alarms
Physiological alarms, also called patient status alarms, are
triggered by a monitored parameter value that violates setup
alarm limits or an abnormal patient condition.
2. Technical alarms
Technical alarms, also called system status alarms, are
triggered by a device malfunction or a patient data distortion
due to improper operation or system problems.
Alarm Levels
In terms of severity, the oximeter’s alarms levels can be classified
into two categories: high level alarms and medium 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.
