Visual Alarm Indicators
The EarlyVue VS30 monitor uses the following visual alarm indicators:
• Alarm light on the top of the monitor
• Alarm message panes
• Flashing Acknowledge Alarm button
• Flashing numeric panes
• Alarm icons
Also, in the Records menu, any measurement that exceeds alarm limits is enclosed in a
white box, as shown below for NBP.
When you touch the Acknowledge Alarm button to pause the audio indicator for an
active alarm, the visual alarm indicators continue to display, unless the alarm is a latched
alarm and the alarm condition no longer exists.
If the QuickAlerts feature is enabled on your monitor, you may see alert messages that
include the reason for the alert and the action you should perform in response. For more
information, see “QuickAlerts Messages” on page 4-18.
