This chapter describes the alarm functions used for the Vivo 45.
6.1 Alarm Function
The alarm function of the Vivo 45 consists of the alarm LEDs on the
front panel, an audible alarm, and messages on the display (see “The
Front Panel” on page 27 for an overview of the position of the LEDs).
Alarm Indication
When an alarm condition arises, the alarm is indicated in three ways:
The adjustable alarm settings should be re-evaluated whenever a change
in settings is made on the Vivo 45.
• Never leave a patient unattended during an alarm condition.
• Setting alarm limits to extreme values could put the patient at risk.
Permitted distributed alarm systems are Vivo 45 remote alarm
with cable and Vivo 45 nurse call cables provided by Breas Med-
ical AB only.
The alarm settings are maintained during an extended power failure.
As soon as an alarm condition is detected, the Vivo 45 main unit and the
remote alarm unit (if connected) will alarm without delay.
• Colour LED on the panel: indi-
cates the priority of the active
alarm condition.
– High priority: red colour,
flashing twice per second.
– Medium priority: yellow col-
our, flashing every 2 seconds.
