ENGLISH
1. Except volume of audible alarm can be adjustable, the other properties of the alarm cannot be adjusted by the user,
such as alarm priority setting, alarm lamp flashing and so on. In addition, all alarms in this patient monitor are “non-
latched” type, that is to say, when the alarm event disappears, the corresponding alarm will automatically stop. The alarm
volume range is shown as below:

High: 0dB
～
80dB (The distance between device front and test instrument is 1m)

Medium: 0dB
～
75dB (The distance between device front and test instrument is 1m)

Low: 0dB
～
70dB (The distance between device front and test instrument is 1m)
2. Alarm settings are non-volatile, that means the previous settings will still sustain even the patient monitor is powered
off including unexpected power failure and manual reboot.

A hazard can exist if different alarm presets are used for the same or similar device in a single area.
6.5 Verify Alarm Function
When the monitor starts up, a self-test is performed. In this case the alarm lamp will light, and the system gives a beep.
This indicates that the visible and audible alarm indicators are functioning correctly.
For further testing of individual measurement alarms, perform the measurement on yourself (for example SpO
2
or CO
2
) or
enter Demo Mode, or use a simulator. Adjust alarm limits and check that appropriate alarm behavior is observed.
6.6 When an Alarm Occurs
When an alarm occurs, observe the following steps and take proper actions:
1. Check the patient’s condition.
2. Confirm the alarming parameter or alarm category.
3. Identify the source of the alarm.
4. Take proper action to eliminate the alarm condition.
5. Make sure the alarm condition is corrected.
Chapter 7 ECG Monitoring
7.1 Introduction
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is primarily a tool for evaluating the electrical events within the heart. The ECG signals can
be detected by electrodes at the surface of the skin, this device connects ECG signals and represents them on the monitor
as waveforms and numerical value such as heart rate. The S-T segment measurement and arrhythmia detection can be
done as well by the ECG signals.
The ECG electrodes connect the patient and the lead wires and/or ECG cable, the lead wires and/or cable connect to
the monitor. The electrode type selection and the locations of the electrodes are very important to ensure accurate ECG
measurement.
