7.1 Alarms / Targets
There are two types of alarms on the HemoSphere advanced monitor intelligent alarm system:
1 Physiological alarms: These are set by the clinician and signify the upper and/or lower alarm
ranges for configured key continuous parameters.
2 Technical alarms: This alarm signifies a device fault or alert. Technical alarms are non-latching.
Alarms occur with either Medium or High priority. Only parameters that are displayed (key parameters) will
have active visual and audible alarms.
For physiological parameters CO/CI, sCO/sCI, SV/SVI, and ScvO

the upper alarm (red zone)
priority is medium and the lower alarm (red zone) priority is high. For DIA, MAP, and SYS, the alarm priority
is always high. For the physiological parameters SVR/SVRI, EDV/sEDV, EDVI/sEDVI, RVEF/sRVEF,
CVP, MPAP, PPV, and SVV the alarm priority is always medium. See Alarm Priorities on page 207.
Among technical alarms, faults are of medium priority, and will halt operation of the related monitoring
activity. Alerts are of low priority and will not halt any monitoring activity. As faults are of higher priority
than alerts, alerts will not be alarmed if there are any active faults.
All alarms have an associated text displayed on the status bar. The intelligent alarm system will actively cycle
through every active alarm text on the status bar. In addition, alarms will generate the visual alarm indicator
shown in table 7-1 below. For additional information, see table 13-1 on page 169.
