Pre-alarms
In the event of a pre-alarm, an acoustic
signal sounds and a staff call is activated.
The display remains in pre-alarm until the
operating alarm goes off. Pre-alarms do not
cause delivery to be interrupted.

9.2
Pre-alarms and operating
alarms
WARNING! Setting alarm thresholds
incorrectly may endanger the patient.
Q
Ensure that the alarm limits are set
so that the alarm can be triggered
in good time. This applies for maxi-
mum pressure in particular.
The operating alarms have a high priority.
Pre-alarms and reminder alarms have a
lower priority. If there are two pre-alarms
at the same time, the pre-alarm with the
shorter remaining time is displayed.
The time lag between the triggering of
the alarm and the activation of a staff
call is less than a second and is therefore
negligible.
The alarm pre-settings are retained in the
event of a power failure.
