Respond to Patient Alarms
When an apnea alarm or patient alarm occurs, the monitor produces an audible tone and visual
indicators and displays the following:
1.
Press the
Suspend/Resume Alarms
key in the upper right corner of the screen or
SUSPEND

that period, visual alarm indications continue.
To “unsuspend” the alarm before 90 seconds has elapsed, press the
Suspend/Resume
key
or

pressing
Suspend/Resume
