EarlyVue VS30 Instructions for Use 11-5
Manually Entering a Respiration Rate
Turning Respiration Rate Alarm Audio Off
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 observation of
the patient.
Alarm audio is on by default unless either of the following is true:
• You are operating in Alarms Off monitoring mode (if this mode was enabled by your
system administrator). See “Alarms Off Mode” on page 4-16.
• Audio is globally turned off (if this option was enabled by your system administrator).
See “Global Audio Off Mode” on page 4-15.
In the Resp menu, you can touch the Alarm Audio On/Off button to toggle alarm audio
on and off. For details, see “To turn off alarm audio for one measurement” on page 4-9.
Changing the Respiration Rate Alarm Limits
For information on changing the respiration rate alarm limits, see “Changing Alarm Limits”
on page 4-7.
Manually Entering a Respiration Rate
Manual entry is always available for the respiration rate. You can manually enter a
respiration rate in two ways:
• In the Respiration menu, if Manual Input is selected as the Resp Source. See
“Changing the Respiration Source” on page 11-3.
• From the Resp pane on the main screen, if no automatic respiration rate source is
available. See “Summary of Respiration Rate Sources and Entry Methods” on
page 11-2.
