General alarm information
A listing of alarm messages is provided at the end of
this section.
All alarms have audible tones and visual messages.
In the event of a total power failure or a main
alarm speaker failure, a secondary audible alarm
circuit activates, providing a continuous buzzing
tone that can not be silenced (see page 5-6,
"Continuous Audible Tone").
Note: Status information will not be displayed
during alarm conditions. Once the alarm
clears the status information will be displayed.
High and low-priority alarms
The INOmax DS
IR
has both high and low-alarm priorities.
High-priority alarms are accompanied with a red
flashing Alarm Silence button.
Low-priority alarm conditions will display a continuous
yellow Alarm Silence button.
High and low-priority alarm messages are displayed
in fields one and two (see Figure 5-1) with the most
recent message shown in field one.
Field 2 is used for status information such as “Running
on Battery” and “Patient Info. Incomplete”.
