1. Turn Alarm Detection On or Off
You can turn on or off the alarm detection capability for each of the NIBP
measured values (SYS, DIA, and MAP). If SYS ALARMS is on, an alarm will be
issued when the high or low alarm limit for systolic pressure is violated,
regardless of which set of alarm limits is displayed. If you turn SYS ALARMS off
and the high or low alarm limit is violated, an alarm will not be issued. When
you turn off the monitor and turn it on again, [SYS, DIA, or MAP] ALARMS will
be reset to ON; the default setting for each pressure value is ON.
