6.2.2 Audible alarms
The monitor uses different alarm tones to indicate different alarm levels.
High level alarm: “DO-DO-DO--DO-DO---DO-DO-DO--DO-DO”.
Medium level alarm: “DO-DO-DO”.
Low level alarm: “DO”.
Different intervals correspond to different alarm levels: High level alarm phonates once every 3
or 8 seconds. Medium level alarm phonates once every 14 or 24 seconds. Low level alarm
phonates once every 24 seconds. For details, please refer to 4.7 Maintenance.
NOTE
z When multiple alarms of different levels occur simultaneously, the monitor
selects the alarm of the highest level and gives alarm tone accordingly.
6.2.3 Alarm Messages
Alarm messages are given when alarms occur. The alarm messages are displayed in the
physiological alarms area or the technical alarms area in black. For physiological alarms,
asterisks are displayed before the alarm messages to identify the alarm level.
High level alarms: triple asterisks “***”
Medium level alarms: dual asterisks “**”
Low level alarms: single asterisk “*”
The monitor varies the background color of the technical and physiological alarm messages to
indicate the alarm level.
High level alarms: red background color
Medium level alarms: yellow background color
Low level alarms: yellow background color
NOTE
z Comparing with an alarm message, the background color of prompt
information is the same as that of the position where it appears.
z The NIBP technical alarm messages appear in the NIBP parameter window. For
high level alarms, the text color is red; for medium and low level alarms, the text
color is yellow. The background color is the same as the parameter window.
6.2.4 Parameter Flashes
An alarm is triggered when a patient parameter exceeds the parameter limit. At the same time, the
measured parameter value in the parameter window flashes every second. If the ALM LIMIT in
the SELECTION menu is turned ON, the exceeded upper or lower alarm limit also flashes every
second.
