■
If the number of consecutive PVCs is greater than or equal to the V Brady PVCs limit (5), and PVC rate is
lower than the V Brady limit (40), a Vent Brady alarm is generated.
■
If both the V Brady PVCs and V Brady Rate are lower than the limits, but V Brady PVCs is greater than 2, a

Arrhythmia Alarms Timeout
Normally, an arrhythmia alarm is presented when an alarm condition is detected. However, there are certain
situations that can inhibit audible and visible alarm indications even though an alarm condition was detected.
For more information, see

serious condition might be overlooked. So arrhythmia alarms are prioritized by alarm "chains".
