Patient Alarms and INOPs

This chapter lists alarms and technical alarms (INOPs) for the fetal monitors, alphabetically,
irrespective of their priority. INOPs start “Technical Alarm Messages (INOPs)” on page 76.

Alarm Messages

Fetal alarms are identified by either "FHR" or "DFHR". All other alarms without these identifiers refer
to maternal parameters.

Alarm Message

From

Condition

Indication

*** BRADY (Pulse)
***BRADY xxx < yyy

SpO

2

The heart rate from the Pulse signal
has fallen below the bradycardia
limit. xxx denotes the lowest
measured value; yyy is the
bradycardia limit.

Numeric flashes and alarm
limit is highlighted, red alarm
message, alarm tone.

*** DESAT
*** DESAT xx < yy

SpO

2

The SpO

2

value has fallen below the

desaturation alarm limit. xx denotes
the lowest measured value, and yy is
the desaturation limit.

Numeric flashes, red alarm
message, alarm tone.

** DFHR1 HIGH

** DFHR2 HIGH

** DFHR3 HIGH
**DFHR1 xxx>yyy

**DFHR2 xxx>yyy

**DFHR3 xxx>yyy

FHR (DECG)

The fetal heart rate obtained from
DECG has risen above the high
alarm limit.
xxx denotes the highest measured
value, and yyy is the high alarm limit.

Numeric flashes and high
limit is highlighted, yellow
alarm message, alarm tone.

** DFHR1 LOW

** DFHR2 LOW

** DFHR3 LOW
**DFHR1 xxx<yyy

**DFHR2 xxx<yyy

**DFHR3 xxx<yyy

FHR (DECG)

The fetal heart rate obtained from
DECG has fallen below the low
alarm limit.
xxx denotes the lowest measured
value, and yyy is the low alarm limit.
