CAUTION: Do not set the alarm limit to extreme values that can cause the alarm to
become useless.
During patient monitoring, an alarm occurs when a measurement falls outside the
programmed alarm limit. Alarms can be set or turned off for the following vital signs:
•
Systolic high and Systolic low alarm limits
•
Diastolic high and Diastolic low alarm limits
•
MAP high and MAP low alarm limits
•
Pulse rate high and Pulse rate low alarm limits
• SpO
