Chapter 6. Alerts and Alarms
Audible tones for alerts and alarms can be silenced by pressing the
Clear/Silence
key. For alerts, the audible
tones will resume after the time period defined by the Alert Silencing Time setting (see “Configurable
Options,” 4-1). For alarms, the tones will resume after two minutes.
An alarm, unlike an alert, requires immediate attention because it stops the infusion. Alerts and alarms are
indicated by:
Q
Flashing red
Alert
LED indicator
Q
Audible tone consisting of a single or repeating tone of one long beep followed by three short beeps
Q
Screen message that describes the cause of the alert or alarm.
Note:
If the pump is battery operated, the alert or alarm message will not be displayed until you press a key.
Alerts
Alert messages are described in this section with step-by-step procedures for resolving the alert. These alert
messages are organized numerically and then alphabetically.
