The severe INOPs for which this applies are:
CUFF NOT DEFLATED (configurable to yellow or red)
NBP CUFF OVERPRESS (configurable to yellow or red)
!!INSERT BATTERY - X2 (yellow)
Power Loss Tone
When power is lost - no power is available via the power cable - a buzzer will sound, if so configured.
The tone can be silenced by pressing the On/Off power switch.
Acknowledging Alarms
To acknowledge all active alarms and INOPs, select the Silence permanent key. This switches off the
audible alarm indicators and alarm lamps.
Alternatively, you can acknowledge alarms by pressing the
Silence hardkey on the MMS or on the
SpeedPoint. The hardkeys follow the behavior configured for the permanent key.
A check mark beside the alarm message indicates that the alarm has been acknowledged . If the
monitor is configured to re-alarm, a dashed check mark will be shown .
If the condition that triggered the alarm is still present after the alarm has been acknowledged, the
alarm message stays on the screen with a check mark symbol beside it, except for NBP alarms and
alarms from other intermittent measurements. When such an alarm is acknowledged the alarm
message disappears.
If the alarm condition is no longer present, all alarm indicators stop and the alarm is reset.
Switching off the alarms for the measurement in alarm, or switching off the measurement itself, also
stops alarm indication.
Acknowledging Disconnect INOPs
Acknowledging an INOP that results from a disconnected transducer switches off the associated
measurement, unless the monitor is configured to not allow this. The only exception is ECG/Resp:
acknowledging a disconnect INOP for ECG leads does not switch off the ECG and Resp
measurements. Acknowledging a disconnect INOP at the Information Center switches off the audible
INOP indicator but does not switch off the measurement.
Unplugging an MMS or a plug-in module automatically switches off its measurements.
