message, press the MORE INFO button. If the monitoring system allows the
caregiver to dismiss the condition, pressing DISMISS ALARM clears the alarm,
but does not clear the condition until the caregiver takes appropriate action.
If the monitoring system detects a condition requiring caregiver intervention,
it displays a either a prompt or an error message with a recommended action.
Pressing ALARM SILENCE silences any audible tone for a period of up to two
(2) minutes. A countdown timer reflects any silence time remaining.
•
Prompts — Prompts require a response. For example, the READY: ATTACH
SENSOR TO PATIENT AND MONITOR prompt reminds users to connect both an
interface cable and sensor to the monitoring system and to the patient.

•
Alarms and Error condition messages — When the monitoring system
detects an error condition, it displays the alarm message, suggests corrective
action, and sounds an alarm. It continues monitoring the patient. For example, the
SENSOR DISCONNECTED error message leaves any action to the discretion of the
user, but the PULSE RATE LOW error message requires immediate caregiver inter-
vention.
