Alarm Indicators
A description of visual and auditory information signals for patient and technical
alarms on the Information Center is located in the
IntelliVue Information Center
Instructions for Use
and the
Information Center Online Help.
The Information
Center documentation also includes the default alarm settings and physiological
alarm limit ranges. Alarm behavior specific to the use of the transceiver paired
with an IntelliVue Patient Monitor is described in “Chapter 10. Pairing
Monitoring Devices”.
Testing
Alarm
Indicators
The visual alarm information signal on the transceiver is the Alarms Suspend
icon. During self test, the Alarm Suspend indicator illuminates briefly, and a
single tone indicates association with the Information Center. These positive test
results indicate that the Alarm Suspend icon on the transceiver is functioning
correctly (see “Self Test” on page 4-11).
Suspending/Pausing Alarms
Warning
Warning
If the Alarms Suspend indicator on the transceiver remains illuminated
after the button combination to unsuspend alarms is pressed, a transceiver
malfunction may have occurred. (Alarms resume automatically after the
configured suspend duration time, or you can resume them manually at the
Information Center.) The transceiver should be replaced, and the
malfunctioning unit should be sent to your service provider.
All alarms for a patient can be suspended/paused from the Information Center,
from the TeleMon Companion Monitor, or, depending on transceiver
configuration, from the transceiver itself. The Alarm Suspend/Pause duration is
configurable with a default of two minutes. Alarms automatically resume after
the configured suspend duration time, or can be reactivated manually earlier.
