Managing Alarms
violations, Asystole, and Ventricular Fibrillation. These reports include a
snapshot of the physiological parameters and an ECG waveform "strip" from the
PPM3.
When the PPM3 is disconnected from the MPC (in Transport Mode), the 10 most
recent alarm reports are stored within the PPM3. The reports will remain in the
PPM3 memory even if power is turned off. When the PPM3 is reconnected to the
MPC, the reports are transferred to the MPC. Manually-generated reports (via the
PPM3’s print key) are also stored while in Transport Mode, and are counted as
part of the 10 reports.
See the MPC User’s Guide discussion on the Alarm Log for more details on alarm
reports.
12.1.9. Audible Alarm Tones While Connected to the MPC
When the PPM3 is connected to the MPC central station, it can be configured to
sound an alarm tone for high-grade alarms only (e.g., Asystole). This may be
especially helpful at night when the patient is sleeping. If the communications
link between the PPM3 and MPC is broken, the monitor will once again generate
an alarm tone for all alarms.
This feature is configured at the MPC. See the MPC User’s Guide for more
details.
