Alarms: Alarm Setup
The alarm limits for each modality are configured by a respective setup screen.
Refer to Chapter 4, “Setup Procedures”. A
Master Alarm Setup
screen provides a
summary of most alarm limit settings with the exception of the FHR1 and FHR2
limit settings which are set independently.
NOTE:
For each modality, the available ranges of high and low alarm limits
overlap; however, the monitor prevents the selection of overlapping alarm
limits.
Alarm Volume
The alarm volume can be set on any individual setup screen or on the
Master Alarm
Setup
screen. This settings is used for all alarms .
CAUTION
ALARM SETUP—Prior to monitoring each patient, it is
recommended that you check the alarm limits to ensure they are
appropriate for the patient.
