5.2 Alarm Categories
The monitor provides two different types of alarms: physiological
alarms and technical alarms.

Physiological alarms : also called patient status alarms, are
triggered by parameter measurement exceeding the set alarm
limits, or by an abnormal patient condition.
 Technical alarms : also called system status alarms, are
triggered by a device malfunction or the monitoring result
distortion due to improper operation or mechanical problems.
Apart from the physiological and technical alarms, the monitor can
also display messages describing the system status or patient status
in the prompt message area at the top of the screen.
For alarm events and prompt messages, see
Appendix B Alarm


High priority alarms: indicates a life threatening situation or a
severe device malfunction. High priority alarms require an
immediate operator response.


device malfunction. Medium priority alarms require a timely
operator response.

Low priority alarms: indicate a discomfort condition, a device
