Safety precautions
Familiarize yourself with the safety chapter of this manual for all safety precautions
related to the system. Some warnings or cautions may also be listed with detailed
instructions in this chapter.
Alarm conditions
There are two types of alarm conditions: physiological and technical.
Physiological alarm conditions are triggered by a patient measurement being outside
the parameter limits or by apnea. Only high and medium priority alarms are available
for clinical review in trends data or in the Single Patient View events. You can find
more information on them in the alarm log files.
Technical alarm conditions are triggered by an electrical, mechanical, or other failure
of the equipment, or by failure of a sensor or component.
Alarm priority levels

of the list in a priority order. Within each priority group the most recent alarms are
sorted higher.
