TACHY ALARM
DELAY
In seconds
Enables a delay to the audible alarm.
Values:
0 and 5 seconds
Standard value: 5 seconds
If this parameter is set to 5 seconds, the
audible alarm will not activate unless the alarm
set point is violated for 5 seconds or more.
This is a physician decision and is based on such
factors as the known condition of the patient,
number of short Tachycardia alarms documented
by the SmartMonitor 2, the current Tachycardia
alarm set point, and the patient's average resting
heart rate.

MODE
Establishes the method that the data is recorded
under.
Values:
EVENT, CONTINUOUS, EVENT LOG,
Standard value: EVENT
EVENT – Active waveforms are recorded each
time a patient parameter is violated and an entry
is made into the Patient Events Log.
EVENT LOG - Patient alarms are acknowledged
by an entry in the Patient Events Log but no
waveforms are recorded.
CONTINUOUS - Active waveforms are recorded
continuously, regardless of alarm conditions.
All equipment-related events are entered in the

APNEA
RECORD LIMIT
in seconds
Allows active waveforms to be recorded during
the respiratory pauses prior to activation of the
Apnea alarm.
Values:
OFF, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28,

Standard value: 16 seconds
When in Event Mode and the Apnea Alarm is set
to 20 seconds and the Apnea for Record is set to
16 seconds, the system will perform as follows:
For a respiratory pause of <16 seconds, no
waveforms will be recorded and no alarm will
occur.
For a respiratory pause of >16 seconds, but less
than 20 seconds, waveforms will be recorded,
but no alarm will occur.
For a respiratory pause of >20 seconds,
waveforms will be recorded and an alarm will
occur.
