Alarms
6-2
6.2 Alarm Levels
By severity, the patient monitor’s alarms can be classified into three categories: high level
alarms, medium level alarms and low level alarms.
1. High level alarms
Indicate that your patient is in a life threatening situation and an emergency treatment is
demanded.
2. Medium level alarms
Indicate that your patient’s vital signs appear abnormal and an immediate treatment is
required.
3. Low level alarms
Indicate that you patient’s vital signs appear abnormal and an immediate treatment may
be required.
All technical alarms are low level alarms. The level for all technical alarms and some
physiological alarms are predefined before the patient monitor leaves the factory and cannot
be changed. But for some physiological alarms, the level is user adjustable.
