WARNING
The alarm thresholds should be scrutinised in light of the condition of the specific
patient and hospital procedures. Incorrect thresholds can lead to unnoticed
adverse events and failure to alert user to abnormal breathing rate. Only alter
threshold settings under medical supervision.
CAUTION
Verify that the upper and lower respiratory rate thresholds are in accordance with
current hospital, administrative, and/or local government law limits.
CAUTION
In cases of high or low respiratory rate readings the clinical status of the patient
should be assessed by a healthcare professional and/or supplemented with
additional physiological data.
CAUTION
All new applications of the RS Device will take the default thresholds. Verify that the
upper and lower RR thresholds are correct during renaming.
CAUTION
The respiratory rate thresholds for the alarm function of the Lobe have been pre-set
to standard industry limits. Ensure that these limits are correct prior to application
of the device.
