Silencing alarms
Silence an alarm for 2 minutes by selecting the Alarm Silence button.
The button icon is replaced by this one. A timer shows time remaining in the
2-minute alarm silence period.
Select Alarm Silence again at any time to reset the counter to 2:00 minutes.
During patient maneuvers, you can pre-silence audible alarms as desired.
Some alarms cannot be silenced; these are listed in Table 9-3. When a non-
silenceable alarm is annunciated, the following is shown.
Resetting alarms
Most alarms reset themselves (autoreset) when the alarm triggering condition
is removed, but you must manually reset others. Table 9-3 specifies whether
an alarm is autoreset.
Manually resetting alarms
Manually reset an alarm by selecting Alarm Reset.
When an alarm is manually reset, the message is cleared from the Alarms list,
any other alarm indications are removed, and the alarm silence is terminated.
If the alarm cannot be manually reset, you see the following:
Clearing autoreset alarms from the Alarms list
Autoreset alarms are shown with text crossed out in the Alarms list.
Clear the message from the Alarms list by selecting Alarm Reset.
