6.2 Alarm condition priorities
According to the severity of the alarm conditions, the physiological alarms of the monitor can
be divided into high priority, medium priority and low priority.
High priority alarms
The patient is in critical condition that is life-threatening, and should be immediately
rescued, or the monitor has a serious mechanical failure or malfunction, causing it unable
to detect the patient's critical state and endangering the patient’s life.
Medium priority alarms
The patient's physiological signs are abnormal and appropriate measures or treatment
should be taken immediately, or although it won’t endanger the patient’s life, the
mechanical failure or disoperation of the monitor will affect the normal monitoring of key
physiological parameters.
Low priority alarms
The patient's physiological signs are abnormal and appropriate measures or treatment
may need to be taken, or certain monitoring function is invalid due to mechanical failure
or disoperation, but it won’t endanger the patient’s life.
The priority of all technical alarms and some physiological alarms have been set in the monitor
at the factory and cannot be modified by the user. The levels of some physiological alarms can
be modified.

user:
Visual alarm
