Alarm concept
Combined alarms for no pulse or heart rate:
The heart/pulse rate is determined from the ECG, SpO
2
and iBP1 and 2.

The logic of the remaining three parameters is applied if
any of the four is deactivated. If a further parameter fails,
the combination is broken up and a separate alarm
signalled for each parameter.
Monitoring the alarm limits for heart/pulse rates from
different sources:
The heart rate is always determined from the 1st ECG.
Two of the three parameters (SpO
2
, iBP1 and iBP2) are
chosen for monitoring the pulse rate. If two of these
parameters output a measured value between the alarm
limits, the advisory message »
CHECK xyz
!« is generated
instead of a pulse alarm.
A heart/pulse alarm is only generated if at least two
parameters indicate a violation of the alarm limits.
If another para-meter fails, the combination is broken up
and a separate alarm is signalled for each parameter.
Monitoring the alarm limits of the blood
pressure values from different sources:
The NiBP alarm is deactivated when measuring an
arterial pressure.
The standard alarm limits for NiBP and ART are
coupled.
NiBP alarms are suppressed by pressing
G
until
the next NiBP measurement is performed.
