Please refer to 8 Monitoring ECG for how to change ST alarm settings, how to change
arrhythmia alarm settings and how to set the threshold for some arrhythmia alarms.
7.5.1 Setting Alarm Properties for All Parameters
In the main menu, select [ Alarm Setup >> ][ Parameters ]. You can review and set alarm
limits, alarm switches, alarm level and alarm recordings for all parameters.
When a measurement alarm occurs, automatic recording of all the measurement numerics
and related waveforms is possible when the measurement’s [ On/Off ] and [ Record ] are set
on.
WARNING
z
Make sure that the alarm limits settings are appropriate for your patient before
monitoring.
z
Setting alarm limits to extreme values may cause the alarm system to become
ineffective. For example, High oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant to
retrolental fibroplasia. If this is a consideration do NOT set the high alarm limit to
100%, which is equivalent to switching the alarm off.
z
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.
