Alarm Reminder
If Alarm Reminder is configured on for your monitor, you will get an audible reminder of alarm
conditions that remain active after you have acknowledged the alarm. This reminder may take the form
of a repetition of the alarm tone for a limited time, or an unlimited repetition of the alarm tone (this is
the same as a new alarm).
Alarm Reminder is not available for standard, light blue INOPs but for
yellow and red INOPs.
In Configuration Mode, you can set the interval between silencing the alarm and sounding the
reminder tone to one, two, or three minutes.
The alarm reminder behavior at the Information Center is different to that at the monitor. Refer to the
Information Center Instructions for Use for further information.
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, then 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 labeled
Alarms Off, and selecting it switches alarms off.
• Or press the Alarms hardkey on the SpeedPoint or Navigation Point. The hardkey follows the
behavior configured for the permanent key.
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 labeled
Alarms Off.
• Select the
Alarms Off permanent key.
• Or press the Alarms hardkey on the SpeedPoint or Navigation Point. The hardkey follows the
behavior configured for the 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.
