WARNING
 Make sure that the alarm limits settings are appropriate for your patient before
monitoring.
 Setting alarm limits to extreme values may cause the alarm system to become
ineffective. For example, High oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant
to retrolental fibroplasia. If this is a consideration do NOT set the high alarm
limit to 100%, which is equivalent to switching the alarm off.
