6.3.2 Audible Alarm Tones
The monitor uses different alarm tone patterns to match the alarm priority.
The alarm tone is distinct from keystroke tone and pulse tone in frequency.
The alarm tones identify the alarm levels as follows:

High level alarms: double beeps+double beep.

Medium level alarms: triple beep.

Low level alarms: single beep.
The interval of alarm tone is configurable. Refer to
6.5.3 Setting the Interval between
Alarm Sounds.
NOTE

When multiple alarms of different levels occur simultaneously, the monitor will
select the alarm of the highest level, give alarm sounds accordingly. Multiple
alarm messages scroll on the screen.
6.3.3 Alarm Messages
When an alarm occurs, an alarm message will appear in the technical or physiological
alarm area.
The alarm message has different background color which matches the alarm level.

High level alarms: red

Medium level alarms: yellow

Low level alarms: yellow
For physiological alarms, the asterisk symbols (*) before the alarm message match the
alarm level as follows:

High level alarms: ***

Medium level alarms: **

Low level alarms: *
When there are multiple messages, the messages will be displayed circularly.
NOTE

Some physiological alarms, such as the Desat alarm, are exclusive. They have
identical alarm tones and alarm lights as normal high level physiological
alarms, but their alarm messages are displayed exclusively. When an exclusive
physiological alarm and a normal high level physiological alarm are triggered
simultaneously, only the exclusive physiological alarm message is displayed.
