Alarms
6-5
NOTE
z When multiple alarms of different levels occur simultaneously, the
monitor selects the alarm of the highest level and gives alarm tone
accordingly.
6.2.3 Alarm Messages
Alarm messages are given when alarms occur. The alarm messages are displayed in
the physiological alarms area or the technical alarms area in black. For physiological
alarms, asterisks are displayed before the alarm messages to identify the alarm level.
High level alarms: triple asterisks “***”
Medium level alarms: dual asterisks “**”
Low level alarms: single asterisk “*”
The monitor varies the background color of the technical and physiological alarm
messages to indicate the alarm level.
High level alarms: red background color
Medium level alarms: yellow background color
Low level alarms: yellow background color
NOTE
z Comparing with an alarm message, the background color of prompt
information is the same as that of the position where it appears.
z The NIBP technical alarm messages appear in the NIBP parameter
window. For high level alarms, the text color is red; for medium and low
level alarms, the text color is yellow. The background color is the same
as the parameter window.
6.2.4 Parameter Flashes
An alarm is triggered when a patient parameter exceeds the parameter limit. At the
same time, the measured parameter value in the parameter window flashes every
second. If the ALM LIMIT in the SELECTION menu is turned ON, the exceeded
upper or lower alarm limit also flashes every second.
