7.8.2 Resetting Technical Alarms
Technical alarms give different alarm indicators when the alarm system is reset:
■
Some technical alarms are cleared. The monitor gives no alarm indications.
■
Some technical alarms are changed to the prompt messages.
■
For some technical alarms, the alarm is silenced and a
√
appears before the alarm
message, indicating that the alarm is acknowledged.
For details about the indications of technical alarms when the alarm system is reset, see

7.8.3 Setting Alarm Light Status on Alarm Reset
When the alarm system is reset, the monitor presents the alarm light by default, but you
can switch off the alarm light. This function is password protected. For more information,
see
18.6.2 The Pause/Reset Tab .
7.9 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 issues alarm sounds when the
alarm condition ends.
The alarm latch settings is password protected.
NOTE
•
Changing alarm priority may affect the latching status of corresponding
alarm. Determine if you need to reset the alarm latching status if you
changed the alarm priority.
•
When the alarm system is reset, latched physiological alarms are cleared.
