threatening situation, such as Asystole,

treatment is required.

which could make it possible that the monitor cannot detect
critical patient status and thus threaten the patient’s life.

appear abnormal and immediate
treatment is required.
Indicate a device malfunction or an improper operation, which
may not threaten the patient’s life, but may compromise the
monitoring of vital physiological parameters.

appear abnormal and immediate
treatment may be required.

may compromise a certain monitoring function, but will not
threaten the patient’s life.
