example, the monitor prompts ”NIBP alarm disabled ! ” at the time the monitor is
powered on. Besides, if a parameter module is turned on but the required leads or
sensor are not connected, the monitor will prompt accordingly, such as ”ECG LEAD
OFF” or ”SPO2 SENSOR OFF”, etc. Prompt information is usually displayed in the
technical alarms area. But the prompt information relating to NIBP is displayed in
the lower part of the NIBP paramter window.
NOTE
z To distinguish from the prompt information, the alarm message is
displayed with yellow or red background.
6.1.2 Alarm Levels
The alarms are divided into three priority levels: high level alarms, medium level
alarms and low level alarms.
1. High level alarms
The patient ‘s life is in danger and requires emergency treatment, or
Serious technical problem occurs to the monitor, such as error in ECG module
initialization.
2. Medium level alarms
Vital signs of the patient become abnormal, and patient requires immediate
treatment, or
Certain technical problem occurs to the monitor, such as error in temperature
calibration.
3. Low level alarms
Certain technical alarm occurs to the monitor, such as ECG lead off in
measurement.
The levels of all technical alarms and some physiological alarms are not
user-adjustable, because they have been fixed when the monitor is produced.
However, you can change the levels of some physiological alarms in the
corresponding parameter setup menus.
All physiological alarms, technical alarms and prompt information are given in
Appendix C Alarm Messages and Prompt Information.
