WARNING: Turning alarms off prevents all alarms associated with the SpO

measurement from being
annunciated. If an alarm condition occurs, no alarm indication is announced.
Pulse Rate Alarms
You can turn on/off Pulse Rate alarms in all clinical modes where SpO
2
is available. The configured
alarm limits may be changed during use. Alarms are annunciated if measurements fall outside the
configured limits for high or low pulse rate. All Pulse Rate alarms are categorized as non-latching
alarms, meaning they are automatically removed when their alarm condition no longer exists.
Pulse Rate alarms can be generated for the conditions shown in Table 26. Once generated, they
appear as alarm messages in the Pulse status area right above the Pulse numeric. There are both audio
and visual alerts. For more information on alarms, see “Alarms” on page 36.
NOTE: Pulse alarms are off by default except when the Efficia DFM100 enters Pacing Mode.
