6.4 Latching Alarms
As described in 4.7 Maintenance, the parameter alarm type can be set to either LATCH or
UNLATCH.
If the parameter alarm type is set to LATCH, before or during the occurence of a parameter alarm,
the alarm message will be latched even if the initial alarm condition has ceased. The alarm
messsage continues to be displayed, but the alarming modes change as follows:
The measured parameter value and the upper or lower parameter limit stop flashing.
The generated time of the alarm is displayed behind the alarm message in the physiological
alarms area.
If the parameter alarm type is set to UNLATCH, the monitor stops giving any indication for this
alarm when the initial alarm condition has ceased.
