Alarm status —
This status type identifies alarm conditions from highest to lowest
priority. If multiple alarms occur while users are choosing menu options, the vertical
alarm list of messages appears with the highest priority alarms at the top. If more
than three alarms are active, the list collapses into a single VIEW ALL ALARMS line
containing the total number of active alarms. Each alarm contains a MORE INFO
button. Pressing the MORE INFO button provides a detailed explanation and any
corrective action required.
a.
High priority alarms —
Alarm message appears on flashing red back-
ground. High priority alarms appear first when multiple alarms occur simulta-
neously.
b.
Medium priority alarms —
Alarm message appears on flashing yellow
background. Medium priority alarms appear after high priority alarms and
before low priority alarms.
c.
Low priority alarms —
Alarm message appears on steady yellow back-
ground. Low priority alarms appear after high or medium priority alarms.

Alarm Management and Status Messages
The status field at the top of the monitoring screen contains information describ-
ing overall monitoring system status and any active alarms. If multiple alarms
occur during user interaction with a menu or dialog box, the list of alarm mes-
sages collapses to a single line listing the total number of alarms currently active.
Cancellation or dismissal of an alarm message requires user intervention,
whereas status messages do not. The message identifies the alarm or status. If
it is an alarm, it offers users a MORE INFO button, which when pressed, provides
detailed data and a means to correct the situation or clear the alarm.
The monitoring system comes with factory default alarm limit thresholds for
adult-pediatric patients and for neonate patients. Reference
, p. 10-6. Institutions may opt for setting institutional default settings
to override the factory defaults. In addition, users may also temporarily change
alarm limits. Any temporary changes to alarm limit thresholds revert back to
default alarm limit settings after power-off.
Note:
There are no delays associated with any alarm conditions that exceed ten (10) seconds
unless otherwise specified.
