Case Profile Configuration
Alerts/AlarmsAlerts/Alarms
The Alerts/Alarms Tab sets thresholds for the physiological parameters measured
or calculated by the CDI OneView System. The parameters available depends on the
modules congured in Sensor Connections. Set high and low alerts as well as alarm
thresholds to notify the user when parameters fall outside of clinically relevant limits.
Alarms
The alarms are triggered when any parameters are outside the set alarm limits. When
alarms are active, the following occurs:
• A sound is emitted (unless muted).
• A ashing yellow border appears around the tile
• An arrow will indicate if the alarm is high or low.
Note: There is no inherent delay in the determination of any alarm condition.
Alerts (Optional)
Alerts are optional notications that must be within alarm value ranges. When alerts
are active the following occurs:
• The tile will display a static white border.
• An arrow will indicate if the alert is high or low.
Modifying Alerts/Alarms
1. Tap a cell to edit that value.
2. Enter a value with the
number pad or use arrows to
increase/decrease the value.
3. Tap anywhere outside the
number pad to accept the
value.
4. Once all changes are made,
tap Save before navigating
away.
Reset to System Defaults resets all alarm limits to the manufacturer-
dened default limits. The manufacturer-dened default limits are
derived from typical clinical values that can occur during
cardiopulmonary bypass for which user intervention may be required.
Reset to Prole Defaults resets all alert and alarm settings to
the case prole defaults set by the admin. This option will not be
available until a case prole has been created.
Note: Set the low alarm limit at the desired threshold for DO

(AUC) calculation. The threshold will appear as a dotted line on the graph.
Note: Invalid value errors occur when values are entered outside of system operating
range (see Appendix B).
Note: Alarm limits are required for every parameter congured.
Manufacturer-Defined Default Alarm LimitsManufacturer-Defined Default Alarm Limits
The manufacturer-dened default alarm limits have been determined to be medium
priority based on the criteria described in Appendix B.
The minimum and maximum values for each alarm limit can be modied. Specic cases
may require adjustment of these limits from the manufacturer-dened alarm limits
based on clinical judgment. The alarm priority does not change even if the alarm limits
are changed. Signicant deviation from the manufacturer-dened default limits may
not be consistent with the priority alarm conditions listed in Appendix B.
Note: Although values outside default ranges may be displayed, alarms limits can be
set only within the maximum/minimum ranges listed in Appendix B.
Note: The highest setting for the alarm volume is 74 dBA.
Note: No alarm is associated with Shunt Sensor temperature.
Warning
Ensure that all current preset alarm limits are appropriate prior to
use in each case. Proceeding with inapplicable alarm limits may
reduce the effectiveness of the alarm system.
Alarm limits should not be set to extreme values, as this may
reduce the effectiveness of the alarm system.
Setting different alarm congurations for the same or similar
equipment in any single area is potentially hazardous.
