Alarm Types and Meanings
BabySat produces several alarms based on Sensor and other data when
certain alarm conditions have occurred. These alarms are designed to
provide physiological and technical alarms to the Caregiver. The following
table describes each alarm type, the App Status message, the alarm
condition and how the Caregiver should respond. For details on alarm
delays and alarm thresholds, refer to Section 16.
! NOTE.
A failure in the Sensor hardware will result in either the
SENSOR DISCONNECT alarm or the CHECK SENSOR
PLACEMENT alarm.
! NOTE.
When two or more alarms occur at the same time, the highest
priority alarm always takes precedence on both the Base
Station and the App. If two high priority alarms occur at the
same time, both will be indicated. Status message priority for
simultaneous medium or low alarms occurs in the order
listed below.
High Priority
(Physiological) Alarms
HIGH OXYGEN LEVEL DETECTED!
LOW OXYGEN LEVEL DETECTED!
HIGH PULSE RATE DETECTED!
LOW PULSE RATE DETECTED!
Oxygen Level has exceeded prescribed limits.
Oxygen Level has fallen below prescribed limits.
PULSE RATE has exceeded prescribed limits.
PULSE RATE has fallen below prescribed limits.
Immediately check on the Baby. Use your
experience as a Caregiver to determine if there is a
change in the infant’s status that may require
intervention and follow any directions provided by
your healthcare provider.
Check connections and restore power or
discontinue use.
