Pausing (Suspending) Alarms
If you want to temporarily prevent potential or current patient alarms and equipment alert
alarms from sounding when caring for a patient, you can pause (suspend) alarm audio for 2, 4,
or 15 minutes (depending on your unit configuration) or you can pause (suspend) the alarm
audio indefinitely (Audio Off). Alarms automatically resume after the configured pause
(suspend) time is up.
To pause (suspend) patient alarms:
1. Press the More
quick access
key (
)to access the second set of quick access keys.
2.
Press the Alarms
quick access key (
).
3.
If you would like to pause (suspend) alarms for the configured amount of time, press
quick access key once. The Alarm Audio Paused icon (
) appears at the top of the
display next to the message area along with a timer indicating the amount of time the alarms
will be paused.
4.
If you would like to turn the alarm audio off indefinitely, press the
quick access key a
second time. The Alarm Audio Off icon (
)
appears on the top of the display next to
the message area to indicate alarm audio is paused indefinitely for this unit.
Note:
Press the
quick access key a third time to clear the display and resume alarm
audio.
No alarms will sound while alarms are paused (suspended); however, if an alarm occurs during
the suspension period, the X Series unit will display visual alarm indicators -- alarm messages
in the message area (white text on a red background) and red/white numeric displays).
Note:
Your X Series unit may be set up to not allow pausing (suspending) alarms.
Warning!
When audible alarms are disabled, make sure that the patient is closely observed.
Alarm Reminders
Your X Series unit may be configured to sound a Reminder Alarm at specified intervals. When
the Reminder Alarm is enabled an alarm will sound every 5 (default), 10 or 15 minutes
(depending on configuration) if an Audio Off condition persists. When Reminder Alarm is
disabled, no reminders are issued if the Audio Off condition continues. You enable or disable
the Reminder Alarm in the Setup>Supervisor>Alarms>General>menu.
