Alarms Off
Your monitor must be configured to Alarm Mode > All to enable alarms in general.
Use this setting to determine how long the monitor’s alarm capabilities will be switched off if the user
selects the
Alarms Off or Pause Alarms key. Possible choices are:
•
1 min
• 2 min
• 3 min
• Infinite
Be aware that if you configure Alarms Off to Infinite, all of the monitor’s alarming capabilities will be
permanently switched off when the user selects the
Alarms Off key.
Pause Al. 5 min, Pause Al. 10 min
If the Pause Al. 5min, or the Pause Al. 10 min settings are Enabled, the user can extend the alarm pause
to 5 minutes or to 10 minutes. If they are set to
Disabled, the pop-up keys are grayed out and disabled.
If the
Alarms Off setting is set to Infinite, these settings are automatically disabled.
The
PauseAl. 5 min or PauseAl. 10 min pop-up keys appear only in the Alarm Messages and Review
Alarms
windows.
AlarmOffReminder
If the AlarmOffReminder setting is Enabled, the monitor issues a prompt (All vital parameters or
parameter alarms are off.
), together with a short reminder tone every three minutes when all alarms
have been switched off (by selecting the
Alarms Off or Pause Alarms SmartKey), or if the alarms for the
following measurements have been switched off individually:
•
FHR, DFHR
• HR from MECG
• Pulse from SpO2
AlarmsOffAtStart
If AlarmsOffAtStart is enabled, alarms will be initially paused, or off the next time the monitor is
switched on. Even if it is enabled, this setting only takes effect if the power down time is more than
one minute, and the Global Setting
Automat Default is set to Yes.
In order for alarms to be paused or switched off initially:
• the monitor must be switched off for more than one minute, and
• the last main alarm state was set to off or paused.

INOP only: Only INOPs are enabled, with audible and visual indication active.
