Pausing or Switching Off Alarms
If you want to temporarily prevent alarms from sounding, for example while you are moving a patient,
you can pause alarms. Depending on your monitor configuration, alarms are paused for one, two, or
three minutes, or infinitely.
To view the alarm pause setting chosen for your unit,
1 Select Main Setup -> Alarms -> Alarm Settings
2 Check the Alarms Off setting.
This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.
To Pause All Alarms
♦ Select the Pause Alarms permanent key. If your monitor is configured to
infinite pause time, the permanent key is labelled Alarms Off, and selecting it
switches alarms off.
Depending on the configuration, you may need to select Confirm to complete the
change.
To Switch All Alarms Off
You can only switch alarms off permanently if your monitor is configured to allow infinite alarms
pause and the permanent key is labelled Alarms Off.
♦ Select the Alarms Off permanent key.
Depending on the configuration, you may need to select Confirm to complete the
change.
Pausing alarms infinitely is the same as switching them off.
To Switch Individual Measurement Alarms On or Off
1 Select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu.
2 Select Alarms to toggle between On and Off.
The alarms off symbol is shown beside the measurement numeric.
While Alarms are Paused or Off
• The red Alarms Paused lamp on the monitor front panel is lit.
•
In the alarm field, the monitor displays the message
ALARMS PAUSED or ALARMS OFF, together with
the alarms paused symbol and the remaining pause
time in minutes and seconds, or alarms off symbol.
