3 Design and functional description
If the "Apnea alarm activated" option is selected, the device displays the
apnea alarm. If the option is deactivated, the system does not issue an
apnea alarm. The "Apnea alarm deactivated" icon is then displayed in the
status, alarm, and info display (see chapter 3.2.8).
Fig. 21: Status, alarm, and info display, "Apnea alarm deactivated"
The "Apnea alarm deactivated" symbol is only displayed if alarm suppression is not
activated.
The "Apnea alarm activated" setting switches on each time the device is started and
cannot be saved as the default value. Fritz Stephan GmbH recommends
supplementing patient monitoring with external monitoring if the apnea alarm is
deactivated.
