D.2 Technical Alarm Messages
This section lists technical alarms, their default priority, indication on alarm reset, and the actions that can be
taken when an alarm occurs.
Technical alarms give different alarm indicators when the alarm system is reset. In this section we classify the
technical alarms into three categories for easy clarification:
â– A:
technical alarms are cleared. The monitor gives no alarm indications.
â– B: technical alarms are changed to the prompt messages.
■C: the alarm is silenced and a √ appears before the alarm message.
In the following tables we will use A, B, and C to refer to the indications on alarm reset.
D.2.1 General Technical Alarm Messages
Note: XX represents a measurement or parameter label, such as HR, RR, SpO
2
, EtCO
2
, and so on.
D.2.2 ECG Technical Alarm Messages
Note: XX represents ECG lead name, for example RL, LL, V, Va, Vb, and so on.
Alarm message Default priority Indication on
alarm reset
Cause and solution
XX Module Error High C XX module does not work properly. Replug the
module, if the alarm persists, contact your service
personnel.
Alarm message Default priority Indication on
alarm reset
Cause and solution
ECG Noisy Low/Prompt A The ECG signal is noisy. Check for any possible
sources of signal noise around the cable and
electrode, and check the patient for excessive
motion.
ECG Amplitude Too Small Low C The ECG amplitude does not reach the detected
threshold. Check for any possible source of
interference around the cable and electrode.
ECG Lead Off Low B The electrode has become detached from the
patient or the lead wire has become
disconnected from the adapter cable. Check the
connections of the electrodes and leadwires.
ECG XX Lead Off Low B The electrode has become detached from the
patient or the lead wire has become
disconnected from the adapter cable. Check the
connections of the electrodes and leadwires.
ECG Signal Invalid Low A Patient skin impedance is too high. Check ECG
electrode application.
ECG Learning Prompt / ECG learning is manually or automatically
triggered.
Cannot Analyze QT Prompt / /
D12L Not Available Prompt C The current Va and Vb combination does not
support D12L. Choose an available Va and Vb
combination. For more information, see
