Turning Off Alarm Audio
WARNING
Never disable an auditory alarm if this action could compromise patient safety.
Do not rely exclusively on the auditory alarm system for patient monitoring. The most reliable method
of patient monitoring requires correct operation of the monitor and close in-person observation and
assessment of the patient.
Note

alarm limits, the monitor displays a visual alarm, but does not provide an auditory alarm.

for specific physiological measurements for the current monitoring session. The alarm
settings are reset to default values each time you admit a new patient, change the
patient type, or change the monitoring mode.
