Configuring Apnea Alarms
The Apnea alarm time defines the length of time between breaths before generating the
Apnea alarm. For example, if the Apnea Alarm time is set to 20 seconds, and the monitor
does not detect a breath for more than 20 seconds, the monitor sounds an Apnea alarm.
Apnea options are:
• 20 seconds
• 25 seconds
• 30 seconds
• 35 seconds
• 40 seconds
• 45 seconds
• 50 seconds
• 55 seconds
• 60 seconds
Note: The apnea algorithm starts after 4 breaths are taken by the patient.
