Latching Alarms
The latching setting for physiological alarms defines how alarm indicators behave if you do not reset the alarms.
■
If you do not “latch” physiological alarms, their alarm indications disappear when the alarm condition ends.
■
If you “latch” physiological alarms, all visual and audible alarm indications remains until you reset the
alarms. For latched alarms the time when the alarm is last triggered is displayed behind the alarm message.
You can separately latch visual indications or simultaneously latch the visual and the audible indications.
■
When visual indications are latched, visual indications, including alarm lamp, alarm message and its
background remains when the alarm condition ends and the time when the alarm last triggered is
displayed behind the alarm message.
■
When audible indications are latched, the monitor continues to issues alarm sounds when the alarm
condition ends.

Main Menu
