4.3 Understanding the Alarm Setup Menu
4.3.1 Setting Alarm Properties for All Parameters
WARNING
• Make sure that the alarm limits settings are appropriate for your patient before patient monitoring.
• Setting the alarm limit to an extreme value may cause the alarm system to be ineffective. For
example, high oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant to retrolental fibroplasia. If this is a
consideration, do not set the SpO
2
high alarm limit to 100%, which is equivalent to switching the
alarm off.
• When monitoring patients that are not continuously attended by a clinical operator, properly
configure the alarm system and adjust alarm settings as per the patient's condition.
NOTE
• You cannot simultaneously switch on HR and PR alarms. In the case that PR alarm is on, switching on
HR alarm will automatically turn off PR alarm, and vice versa.
4.3.2 Adjusting Alarm Limits Automatically
NOTE
• You can enable auto alarm limits only when the current parameter measurement is within the auto
alarm limits range.
