4.3 Visual Alarm
When an alarm is active, the following 3 visuals occur:
-
Alarm indicator:
the alarm indicator flashes in orange with a frequency of 0.5 Hz if it is a
medium level alarm; the alarm indicator lights up continuously in orange if it is a low level alarm.
-
Alarm message:
the alarm message appears in the message window of the main interface in red,
with patient alarms on the left and technical alarms in the middle.
-
Flashing number:
the numerical value of the measurement flashes in grey with a frequency of 2
Hz.
When more than one alarm is active, the alarm messages appear in the same area in succession.
The patient alarm messages are displayed either:
•
in text form, for example “** FHR2 LOW”; or
•
in numeric form, for example “** FHR2 115 < 120”; ** indicates this is a medium level
alarm event; the first number is the current measurement result; the second number is the
preset alarm limit.
The technical alarm messages are displayed in text form, for example “Fetus EQUIP MALF”.
