Alarm Limit Centralizing Function
The machine is equipped with a centralizing function to simplify
the correct setting of the alarm limits for arterial and venous pressure
and for TMP.
The centralizing function means that when the Arterial or
Venous pressure buttons are fl ashing, the buttons are
to be pressed. When pressed, the alarm window will
automatically be set around the current value. For TMP, the
TRANSMEMBRANE PRESSURE CONFIRM MENU
appears, where
the operator con fi rms the automatically set TMP alarm limits.
The size of the alarm limit windows, and where on the pressure scale
they are placed, vary for the different parameters and can be preset by
an authorized technician. The default values which the machine is
preset with upon delivery, can be read in chapter 9, "Technical Data
and Speci fi cations" in part 1. If the centralizing function is removed, or
if wide alarm limits range are preset, it is the operator's responsibility
to make sure that the alarm limits are properly set around the current
values during treatment.
Arterial/Venous Pressure
Press the corresponding buttons (when fl ashing) to centralize the alarm
limits around current values.
If necessary the alarm limits can be manually set/adjusted within the
preset alarm window. Press the corresponding button and the pressure
menu will be shown on the Information Display. Manually adjust the
