
Note:
Caregivers may turn off audio SPD alerts in addition to ALARM AUDIO OFF. This also
requires access to the Service Mode by a qualified service technician.

Note:
For institutions preferring visual alarms only, yet allowing caregivers to minimize
backlight brightness, it may prove useful to have a qualified service technician verify
the WAKE DISPLAY ON ALARM option remains enabled.
6.4.5
Visual Alarm Management

WARNING:
The monitoring system is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment.
It must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.
The factory default setting provides both visual and audible alarms for alarm con-
ditions. Institutions may choose to allow caregivers to turn off or dim the backlight,
thus also dimming visual alarms. The factory default is to enable the WAKE
DISPLAY ON ALARM option. The monitoring system then returns to full brightness
during an alarm condition.

Note:
Caregivers may monitor the patient remotely. Reference Using the Nurse Call
Interface , p. 7-14. For institutions allowing caregivers to turn off all audible alarms and
minimize or disable backlight brightness, refrain from reducing both audible and
visual alarms unless using a remote monitoring system. When using a remote
monitoring system, caregivers should still remain vigilant, periodically assessing
patients.

Note:
For institutions preferring visual alarms only, yet allowing caregivers to minimize or
disable backlight brightness, have a qualified service technician verify the WAKE
DISPLAY ON ALARM option remains enabled.
