11 Alarms and faults
11.1 General instructions
The device emits an alarm as long as the cause continues to exist.
Once the cause of the alarm no longer exists, the device no longer
emits the alarm. Some alarms are excepted from this. The duration
of these alarms is marked in the tables.
The device emits physiological and technical alarms. Every alarm
has a certain priority:
If more than one alarm is active, the device handles this as follows:
• Multiple alarms of different priorities: The device displays the
alarm with the highest priority. Alarms with a lower priority do
not appear until the higher-priority alarms are no longer active.
• Multiple alarms of identical priorities: The device displays the
alarms in turn.
