4 - 4 Defibrillator/Monitor Operator’s Manual
WARNING
•
Do not rely exclusively on audible alarm system. Setting alarm volume to a low level may result in a
hazard to the patient. Always keep the patient under close surveillance.
4.5 Understanding the Alarm Setup Menu
Press the Main Menu button on the front panel, and then select [ Alarm Setup >> ] to enter the [ Alarm Setup ]
menu.
4.5.1 Setting Alarm Properties for All Parameters
In the main menu, select [ Alarm Setup >> ]
→
[ Para. Alarm >> ] to enter the [ Para. Alarm ] menu, where you can
review and set alarm limits, alarm switches, alarm level and alarm recordings for all parameters.
■ When a parameter alarm is switched on, the equipment gives alarm indications in accordance with the
preset alarm level and stores related waveforms and parameter values.
■ When a parameter alarm is switched off, the alarm off symbol is displayed in the parameter window.
For NIBP, the alarm off symbol is displayed only when all the NIBP alarms are switched off
simultaneously.
■ When the measurement’s [ On/Off ] and [ Record ] are set to [ On ], automatic recording of all the
measurement numerics and related waveforms is possible when a measurement alarm occurs.
■ When [ Defaults ] is selected, all settings restored to the defaults.
You can also set parameter alarm properties by selecting a parameter area and select [ Para. Alarm >> ] in the
pop-up menu.
WARNING
•
Make sure that the alarm limits settings are appropriate for your patient before patient monitoring.
•
Setting the alarm limit to an extreme value may cause the alarm system to be ineffective. For
example, high oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant to retrolental fibroplasia. If this is a
consideration, do not set the SpO
2
high alarm limit to 100%, which is equivalent to switching the
alarm off.
•
When monitoring patients that are not continuously attended by a clinical operator, properly
configure the alarm system and adjust alarm settings as per the patient's condition.
NOTE
•
You cannot simultaneously switch on HR and PR alarms. In the case that PR alarm is on, switching on
HR alarm will automatically turn off PR alarm, and vice versa.
4.5.2 Adjusting Alarm Limits Automatically
The equipment can automatically adjust the patient’s alarm limits according to the measured vital signs. When
[
Auto Limits ] is selected, the equipment automatically calculates alarm limits based on the latest measured
parameter values.
To enable auto alarm limits, press the Main Menu button on the front panel, and then select [ Alarm Setup >> ]
→
[ Para. Alarm >> ]
→
[ Auto Limits ].
You can also enable auto alarm limits by selecting a parameter area and then select [ Para. Alarm >> ]
→
[ Auto
Limits ].
When auto alarm limits have been applied, you can manually adjust the alarm limits through the [ Para. Alarm ]
menu so that they are appropriate for your patient.
The equipment calculates the auto limits based on the following rules.
