3-12 Operator’s Manual – OPTI CCA-TS
3.3.2.5 Setting Normal Ranges or Alarm Limits
This menu enables you to change both the limits
“name” as it appears on the printout and the limit
values themselves, for pH, PCO
2
and all other
measured parameters. These limit names can be
based on your hospital policy and may be selected
from the following - “Reference”, “Normal”,
“Physiologic”,” Alarm” or “Critical”.
A result that is outside the limits you dene here
will be agged with an up-arrow if high, or down-
arrow if low. A message is included on the printout
explaining each arrow, using the name selected here.
NOTE: When the patient temperature has been
changed, both the uncorrected and corrected
parameters will be checked against the
limit values programmed here and agged
accordingly.
