Pause audio with combination monitoring
When using combination monitoring, the pause audio behavior is the following:
●
If the telemetry transmitter is in pause audio state, also the monitor will be in the
same state. You can cancel the pause audio at the bedside monitor by selecting
the pause audio key. This will not affect the telemetry device.
●
If the monitor’s own pause audio state ends before the telemetry transmitter’s
audio pause, the monitor will re-enter pause audio.
●
The pause audio started by the telemetry transmitter will end also at the monitor
when the transmitter’s pause audio ends.
Breakthrough alarms
The breakthrough alarms feature allows pre-defined and user-selectable alarms to
“break through” (interrupt) an
All Alarms Audio Off or a 2 or 5 minute audible alarm
pause condition.
The FiO2 low , EtO2 low , FiN2O high , and Ppeak high alarms will always break through
when escalated to or activated at high priority alarm condition regardless of the All
Alarms Audio Off selection or any alarm pausing.
