Chapter 6 Alarms
Alarms, triggered by a vital sign that appears abnormal or by technical problems of the monitor, are indicated to the user
by visual and audible alarm indicaons.
6.1 Alarm Categories
By nature, the monitor’s alarms can be classied into three categories: physiological alarms, technical alarms and prompt
messages.
1. Physiological alarms
Physiological alarms, also called paent status alarms, are triggered by a monitored parameter value that violates set
alarm limits or an abnormal paent condion. Physiological alarm messages are displayed in the physiological alarm area.
2. Technical alarms
Technical alarms, also called system status alarms, are triggered by a device malfuncon or a paent data distoron due
to improper operaon or mechanical problems. Technical alarm messages are displayed in the technical alarm area.
3. Prompt messages
As a maer of fact, prompt messages are not alarm messages. Apart from the physiological and technical alarm messages,
the monitor will show some messages telling the system status or paent status. Messages of this kind are included in the
prompt message category and usually displayed in the prompt informaon area. Some prompt messages that indicate
arrhythmia events are displayed in the physiological alarm area. For some measurements, their related prompt messages
are displayed in their respecve parameter windows.
6.2 Alarm Levels
By severity, the monitor’s alarm can be classied into three categories: high level, medium level and low level. In addion,
the monitor has preset alarm level about physiological alarm and technical alarm.
