VitalSignValueState
Avitalsignvalueisconsidered m issing(asindicatedbythreedashes,‐‐‐)whenthevitalsignhas
producedavaluesincethemonitorwasturnedon,butcannolongerproduceavalue.Examples
ofthevaluesthat
couldbecomemissingduringnormaluse,include:
•ECGheartratevalueiftheleadsareremoved.
•SPO2valueduringNoProbe,ProbeOff,etcetera.
• Temperaturevalueiftheprobewasremoved.
•Invasivepressurevaluesifthetransducerisremoved.
WhenavaluebecomesmissingduetoanINOP,anINOPalarm
willbepresent.And,apatient
alarm—duetothemissingvalue—willbepresentaswell.Therefore,thesystemcanhavean
INOPalarm,andapatientalarm,activeatthesametimeandfromthesamecause.
WARNING
If, during use, an alarm condition listed below results in a loss of patient monitoring
capability, employ an alternate means as needed to prevent a lapse in patient monitoring;
otherwise, treatment of the patient could be delayed.
