The settings that can be changed via the Setup Alarms menu include:
Time that alarm will be silenced after you press the
ALARM SILENCE key (unless a new alarm comes in)
Time that alarms will be suspended after you select the
Alarm Suspend item in the top level Setup menu
This setting controls if the clinician is able to suspend all
alarms including lethal arrhythmias (Asystole and VFib).
Enables/disables alarm validation (if enabled, limit alarms
are not annunciated until values have been out of limits for
a set period of time – see Managing Alarms chapter)
Time that elapses while an alarm tone in sounding before
the second speaker starts sounding
Note -- When a communications link with the MPC is established, these settings will be
overridden by those that are received from the MPC.
