Clinical Mode Alarm Notification
When in a Clinical Mode, the Efficia DFM100 can be configured to react differently when an alarm
condition occurs. See Tab le 3 .
All alarm conditions are cleared when you switch from a clinical mode to a non-clinical mode.
If you intentionally disconnect a sensor, an alarm sounds. Press the Smart Select knob to stop the
alarm. The Efficia DFM100 prompts you to confirm your selection. Press the Smart Select knob
again.
WARNINGS: Silencing either audio or audio and visual indications of active alarms can result in missed alarm
conditions and also inhibit indications of new alarm conditions.
Confirm alarm limits are appropriate for the patient each time there is a new patient event.
Do not set alarm limits to such extreme values that render the alarm system useless.
A potential hazard exists if different alarm limits are used for the same or similar equipment in any
single area.
