WARNING Do not turn off the audible alarms in situations in which patient safety could be
compromised.
7.1.1.2 Technical Alarms
During an active technical alarm, the user can silence the alarm and clear the visual alarm indicator (medium
and low priority) by touching the silence audible alarms icon . The visual alarm indicator and audio
tone will remain inactive unless another technical or physiological alarm condition triggers, or the original
technical alarm resolves and re-triggers.
7.1.2 Set Alarm Volume
The alarm volume ranges from low to high with a default of medium. It applies to physiological alarms,
technical faults, and alerts. Alarm volume can be changed at any time.
1 Touch the settings icon .
2 Touch Monitor Settings button.
3 Touch General button.
4 Touch the right side of the Alarm Volume list button to select the desired volume.
5 Touch the home icon to return to the monitoring screen
WARNING Do not lower the alarm volume to a level that prohibits alarms from being adequately
monitored. Failure to do so could result in a situation where patient safety is
compromised.
7.1.3 Set Targets
Targets are visual indicators (lanterns) set by the clinician to indicate if the patient is in the ideal target zone
(green), warning target zone (yellow), or alarm zone (red). The use of target zone ranges can be enabled or
disabled by the clinician. Alarms (high /low) differ from target zones in that the alarm parameter value
flashes and has an audible alarm.
Parameters that can “Alarm” are indicated by a bell icon in the Alarms / Targets settings screen. High/
low alarms by default also become the ranges for the red caution zone for that parameter. Parameters which
DO NOT have the ability to set a high/low alarm will not have a bell icon in the Alarms/Targets settings
screen for that parameter but can still have target ranges set.
