and related waveforms is possible when a measurement alarm occurs.

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.
You can also set parameter alarm properties by selecting a parameter window 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

high alarm limit to 100%, which is equivalent to switching the alarm off.
