SYSTEM STATUS LIGHT
While monitoring a patient and an alarm condition occurs, an audible alarm activates
and the System Status Light shows solid yellow for low priority alarms, flashes yellow for
medium priority alarms or flashes red for high priority alarms. Pressing the Alarm Silence
Button (one time) silences the alarm tone for 120 seconds (default). Pressing the Alarm
Silence Button a second time activates the audible alarms and the System Status Light
shows solid yellow for low priority alarms, flashes yellow for medium priority alarms or
flashes red for high priority alarms. When all alarm conditions are resolved, the System
Status Light changes to solid green.
When monitoring a patient and there are no alarm conditions, the System Status light
shows green. Pressing the Alarm Silence Button (one time) silences the alarm tone for 120
seconds and the System Status Light flashes yellow if there is no alarm condition. Pressing
the Alarm Silence Button a second time returns the device to normal monitoring status and
the System Status Light illuminates green when patient monitoring begins.
While not monitoring a patient, the System Status Light illuminates solid yellow. If an
alarm condition occurs the System Status Light shows solid yellow for low priority alarms.
Pressing the Alarm Silence Button will permanently silence the alarm tone and the System
Status Light is solid yellow until the power is cycled or patient monitoring begins.
Should the alarm condition be created by a low battery condition, plug the device into AC
power immediately.
ALARM MUTE
When the Rad-87 is set to Interface Alarms "Off" (muting the SpO2 and BPM audible
alarms at the device) and SpO2 or BPM alarms occur, the Alarm Bell flashes red and the
System Status Light is solid yellow for low priority alarms, flashes yellow for medium priority
alarms or flashes red for high priority alarms. The audible alarm (SpO2, BPM) activates at
the interfaced system while the audible alarm is muted at the device. Once the SpO2 or
BPM alarm condition is resolved and there are no other system or parameter/measure-
ment alarms, the Alarm Bell stops flashing, the System Status Light changes to solid green
and the audible alarm at the interfaced system deactivates.
NOTE:
The Rad-87 reverts to Interface Alarms "On" during power interruptions or when
the interface connection is lost. This ensures that the Rad-87 provides SpO2
and BPM audible alarms when connection to the interfaced system becomes
compromised.
