Any active alarms will highlight associated
parameter values in the Alarm profile window
using red, yellow or blue to indicate the alarm
priority.
The following can be performed from the
Alarm profile window:
• Set upper and lower alarm limits
• Alarm sound level
• Enable/Disable certain alarms
• Alarm autoset
The contents of the Alarm profile window will
differ depending on whether Manual or
Automatic ventilation is selected, and the
selected patient category. The default set-up
is specified via Menu/Service and
Settings/Configuration.
Any changes made to the settings in the Alarm
profile window can be saved or deleted by use
of the prompt that appears when the patient
case is ended (End case), and when returning
to Standby mode. When the system is
shutdown, all settings return to their original
status in Startup configuration.
The Alarm profile window can be accessed at
any time by pressing anywhere in the
measurement area of the touch screen.
In case of a total loss of power, i.e. mains
power and battery power, alarm settings and
stored patient data remain in effect if the
duration of the power loss is less than 30
seconds.
