Customize Alarm Limits Based on Patient’s Current Vital Signs
1.
To quickly set all alarm limits, from the Main Menu press
SETUP
,
ALARMS, STAT SET
. The
monitor turns on all alarms and calculates new alarm limits based on the patient’s current
vital sign values. Make sure that the new limits are appropriate for the patient.
Warning
If a patient’s vital sign value falls outside of the upper or lower alarm range limit, STAT SET turns off the alarm
and the alarm limit except for the following:
1. The lower alarm limits for SpO
2
and ETCO
2
are not turned off by STAT SET.
2. If HR/PR ALARM LIMITS in the Settings window is set to CANNOT TURN OFF, STAT SET affects HR/PR alarm limits
as follows:
HR/PR PATIENT VALUE DISPLAY UPPER LIMIT LOWER LIMIT
Overrange +++ Maximum Unchanged
Underrange - - - Unchanged Minimum
Indeterminate ??? Unchanged Unchanged
STAT SET Limit Calculations
1
1. New alarm limits calculated by STAT SET cannot be outside the allowable alarm limit range. If a new limit is calculated
to be above or below the allowable alarm limit range, it defaults to the maximum or minimum alarm limit allowed for that
vital sign.
