To change alarm limits,
1 Enter the Alarm Limits window.
2 To set the high alarm limit, select the high yellow alarm field to open a pop-up list of high alarm
limits. Select a limit from the list. Repeat to set the low yellow alarm field.
If you set the yellow alarm limit outside the red alarm limit, the monitor will automatically set the red
alarm to the yellow alarm limit.
When an ST measurement is in the alarm limits window there are also two pop-up keys available
labeled
All ST Narrow/All ST Wide. With these keys you can set Auto Limits for all ST Leads.
About Automatic Alarm Limits
The monitor can automatically set alarm limits suited to your individual patient, using the Automatic
Alarm Limits function (AutoLimits). This tells the monitor to adapt the alarm limits of selected
measurements to the measured vital signs within a defined safe limit. The monitor calculates safe
AutoLimits for each patient based on the measured values from the last 12 seconds.
The wide and narrow limits have a fixed relationship to the measured value within the non-
pathological range. Outside of this range, no auto limits are calculated. To set values outside of the
non-pathological range, limits must be changed manually, based on the clinician's judgment about the
specific patient.
