6.3 Controlling Alarms
You can control many factors in the way the monitor issues an alarm. You can
turn off the alarm detection capability for a single parameter. You can change
the high and low alarm limits. You can quickly reset the alarm limits relative to
the patient's current measured values. You can control the volume of the
audible alarm. And you can silence an alarm for two minutes, or indefinitely.
CAUTION! When the overall alarm is switched off and physiological
parameters exceed limits, there will be no alarm sound and no
blinking numerics. The words relating to the technical alarm will
blink but without audible sound.
WARNING! User should pay careful attention to overall alarm switching.
Switching off the overall alarm is not recommended.
