Alarm notifications and alarm history are displayed after tapping the ‘Alarm Notifications’- button 
(Figure 6.3, number 26). Alarms are logged starting from powering on Evone until powering 
off Evone. Note that the alarm history is not stored on Evone during power down situations. 
The capacity for alarm messages to be logged is 100. When a higher number of alarm messa-
ges will occur the oldest one will be deleted in favor of the newest one.

Figure 6.5  Example extended alarm pop-up

Alarm priority is indicated by four different colors, which are explained in Table 6.7. 

Color

Alarm Level

Description

Red

High priority alarm with red blinking 
light and sound.

The system has detected a 

  situation in which the patient 

is in immediate danger. Take direct actions 
to minimize the impact on the patient.

Yellow

Medium priority alarm with yellow/
orange blinking light and sound.

The system has detected an error that 
could indicate either a situation with the 
patient or a problem with the device. 
Check and take appropriate actions.

Blue

Low priority alarm with blue blinking 
light and sound.

The system has detected a situation that 
is outside the normal ranges, which could 
indicate an undesired situation. Check and 
take appropriate actions.

None

Obsolete/resolved Alarm.

No current alarm. This is the list of previous 
alarms that have been resolved or are 
no longer valid. Use this list to check on 
regularities in alarms and take appropriate 
actions when needed.
