NOTE: The high HR alarm condition is not detected when the HR High limit is configured greater than the
maximum Extreme Tachy threshold. You get the Extreme Tachy alarm. The low HR alarm
condition is not detected when the HR Low limit is configured less than or equal to the minimum
Extreme Brady threshold.
