3.4 Alarm management
The alarm management of the corpuls
3
classifies all alarms into three different
priorities, into physiological and technical alarms as well as into active and non-
active alarms.
High-priority alarms warn the user of immediate lethal or irreversible injuries of
the patient or of malfunctions in the device. High-priority alarms cannot be
interrupted by medium-priority- or low-priority alarms.
Medium-priority alarms alarms warn the user of immediate reversible injuries of
the patient or of minor malfunctions in the device. Medium-priority alarms
cannot be interrupted by low-priority alarms. High-priority alarms always take
precedence over medium-priority- or low-priority alarms.
Low-priority alarms warn the user of minor injuries of the patient that may occur
later or of minor limitations to the functionality of the device. High- and medium-
priority alarms always take precedence over low-priority alarms.
The physiological alarms are displayed if measured values exceed or fall below
the pre-set limit values of the alarm. Technical alarms are displayed, if there is a
malfunction in the device. If the corpuls
3
is in AED or manual defibrillation
mode, the physiological alarms are not signalled.
The physiological and technical alarms and the necessary troubleshooting
measures are listed in chapter 10 Procedure in Case of Malfunctions, page 233.
Alarms are active, if the conditions that trigger the alarm are present. Alarms
are non-active, if the conditions that trigger the alarm have been remedied, but
the alarms are still listed in the alarm history for information.
The corpuls
3
issues visual alarm signals at the monitoring unit and at the
patient box. If there is no connection between the monitoring unit and the
patient box, acoustic alarm signals are issued at both modules. If there is a
connection, acoustic alarms are issued only at the monitoring unit.
No alarm signals are issued at the defibrillator/pacer. Alarms of the
defibrillator/pacer are signalled at the monitoring unit.
During modular operation of the corpuls
3
, alarms may be signalled with a
delay of up to 30 seconds.
