For some technical alarms, including the NIBP-related alarms, a √ appears before the alarm message and
appears in the alarm symbol area, indicating that the alarm is acknowledged. The indication of the alarm lamp
depends on the alarm light setting.
Some technical alarms are changed to the prompt messages.
Some technical alarms are cleared. The monitor gives no alarm indications.
For details about the indications of technical alarms when the alarm system is reset, refer to appendix D.2 Technical
Alarm Messages.
7.9 Latching Alarms
The alarm latching setting for your monitor defines how the alarm indicators behave when you do not acknowledge
them. When alarms are set to non-latching, their alarm indications end when the alarm condition ends. If you switch
alarm latching on, all visual and audible alarm indications last until you acknowledge the alarms, except that the
measurement numeric and violated alarm limit stop flashing as soon as the initial alarm condition goes away.
To set alarms to latching or non-latching:
1. Select [Main Menu]→[Maintenance >>]→[User Maintenance >>]→enter the required password.
2. Select [Alarm Setup >>].
3. Select [Latching Alarms] and then select [High only], [Hi&Med], [All] or [Off].
If you select [High only], only high priority alarms are latched;
If you select [Hi&Med], both high priority alarms and medium priority alarms are latched;
If you select [All], all alarms are latched;
If you select [Off], the alarm latching is turned off.
NOTE
Changing of alarm priority may affect the latching status of corresponding alarms. Determine if you need to
reset the latching status for the specific alarm after changing its alarm priority.
When the alarm system is reset, the latched physiological alarms are cleared.
