6.5.3 Initiating Auto Alarm Limits
The TM80 provides the auto alarm limits function to automatically adjust alarm limits
according to the patient’s vital signs used. When auto limits are selected, the TM80 cal-
culates safe auto limits based on the latest measured values. To get accurate auto alarm
limits, you need to collect a set of measured vital signs as a baseline.
NOTE
• Any changes to the alarm properties on the TM80 will change alarms on
the CMS and vice versa if configured.
