The device is a digital sampled data system. It meets
requirements for both test methods for diagnostic frequency
response described in AAMI EC11.
Audible Alarms
This is a standalone device. All alarm tones are internal to the
biphasic LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor. The alarm tone
volumes range from 45 to 85 dB.
Alarm violations are manifested by tones, voice prompts, and
visual indications.
Alarm manifestation occurs within 1 second after a displayed
parameter violates its alarm limit. User selectable alarm
volume adjustment is provided. This adjustment does not
allow alarm volume to attain/reach a zero level.
Shock Advisory System tones reinforce Shock Advisory
System messages provided on the product display.
The following identifies the tone assignments for each type of
alarm:
• The priority 1 tone is used to alert the user to the possibility
of imminent death. This tone is a 440 Hz and 880 Hz
alternating tone with a 50% duty cycle and a 4 Hz
alternation frequency. The volume of the priority 1 tone is
between 65 and 85 dB and is not adjustable.
• The priority 2 tone is used to alert the user that a possible
life-threatening condition exists. This tone is a continuous
698 Hz tone.
• The priority 3 tone is used to alert the user that an abnormal
condition exists. Three beeps at 1046 Hz for 100 msec
duration each with a 150 msec silence between the first and
second and the second and third, followed by a 200 msec
silence.
• Priority 3 tones come in single and repeating types: for a
single tone, the 3-beep sequence sounds only once. For a
repeating tone, the 3-beep sequence sounds every 20
seconds.
