4. Alarms and Remedies
4.1 Pre-Alarms
In contrast to alarms, a pre-alarm does not cause an interruption of the infusion.
The message appears in the LC display by means of an icon and text and is supplemented by an
audible signal (weaker, repeated whistle of 1 to 4 kHz compliant with IEC60601- 1-8) and an
intermittently flashing amber-green status light
(See Section 6.5. LEDs in User Manual:
14.547_G_UM_en_A71XV_5.09).
Repetition of the audible signal can be configured.
After the pre-alarm is acknowledged the status light changes to amber and remains on until the
cause of the pre-alarm is resolved or the pre-alarm is replaced by an alarm
(For further
information see Section 15.1. Pre-alarms in
User Manual: 14.547_G_UM_en_A71XV_5.09).
♦
Procedure in the Event of a Pre-Alarm:
Press Menu key
to mute the audible signal.
The display switches to the main view.
The indicator lamp changes to continuous amber.
The pre-alarm continues to be displayed as a message in the top section of the LCD.
