5. Alarm
Overview
The monitor displays the alarm limits (parameter threshold) and can be configured by the user to
raise an alarm if exceeded. Limits are displayed both in the alarm limits table and in the parameter
box. If this limit is exceeded, a visual and/or audible alarm will occur.
The bedside monitor is the primary alarm device, and there may be other secondary alarm devices
depending on how you configured the device / network. Depending on the alarm condition, the
monitor generates an alarm using one or more of the following devices:
⚫
sound reflecting alarm severity
⚫
Change the color in the parameter box of the alarm parameter
⚫
Alarm messages in the local message area
⚫
Alarm banner indicating alarm status
⚫
External alarm device such as nurse call system
⚫
Activate alarm recording
The monitor generates an alarm when the parameter in the Alarm Limits table is
ON . It is not a
prerequisite that the parameter is displayed on the display or connected in the event of an alarm.
Alarm Priority
The alarm type is divided into an animal status alarm and a product status alarm.
The animal status alarm sounds when the diagnostic function (ECG 13 auto diagnosis) and alarm
upper and lower limits are exceeded, and there are levels of High, Medium, Low and Message, and
there is a difference in the order and volume of the alarm. You can set the alarm level for each
parameter and function. The animal status alarm provides the highest priority alarm.
The features of each alarm are described as follows. The alarm priority is High > Medium > Low >
Message. For high or medium alarms, the printer output is supported when
‘Ala rm print on ’ is set.
