Manage Alarms and Alarm Limits

WARNING:
Setting alarm limits to off or extreme high or low values will reduce alarm efficacy.

WARNING:
Do not silence the audible alarm or decrease its volume if patient safety could be
compromised.

WARNING:
Prior to each use of the monitoring system, check the alarm limits to ensure they are
appropriate for the patient being monitored. Ensure alarm limits do not exceed the
standard thresholds set by the institution.

WARNING:
Ensure the speaker is clear of any obstruction. Failure to do so could result in an
inaudible alarm tone.
When the monitoring system detects certain conditions that require user attention,
the monitoring system enters an alarm state.
The monitoring system uses both visual and audible indicators to identify high-prior-
ity, medium-priority, and low-priority alarms. Audible alarms include pitched tones,
beeps, and a buzzing tone. High priority alarms take precedence over medium- and
low-priority alarms. Reference
