To silence an alarm tone when it sounds, press the SILENCE ALARM key
on the front of the monitor. The current alarm will be silenced for 60
seconds and the message ”SILENCED” is displayed on the screen.
Any new alarm at an equal or greater level will sound and the silence
command is cancelled.
An alarm pause tells the monitor that you do not want any alarms to sound
for several minutes (see below).
WARNING
Alarms do not sound, alarm histories are not stored, alarm
graphs do not print, and alarms are not sent to the central
stations during an "Alarm Pause" condition.
To start an alarm pause, press the SILENCE ALARM key on the front of
the monitor. Press the key twice if an alarm is sounding when you want to
start an alarm pause.
ADULT-ICU mode:
If your monitor is set up for this mode, a five-minute alarm pause occurs
and a count-down timer is displayed on the screen. Press the SILENCE
ALARM key again to reactivate alarms before the five- minute period
elapses.
NEONATAL-ICU mode:
If your monitor is set up for this mode, a three-minute alarm pause occurs
with a count-down timer displayed. Press the SILENCE ALARM key again
to reactivate alarms before the three-minute period elapses.
OPERATING ROOM mode:
If your monitor is set up for this mode, press the key once for a 5- minute
pause, press again for a 15-minute alarm pause, press again for a
permanent alarm pause (message will read ”ALARMS PAUSED”). Also
arrhythmia is switched off and the alarm limits are set to the Operating
Room factory defaults.
Press the SILENCE ALARM key again to turn alarms back on.
Refer to this chapter, Alarm Volume, for a procedure whereby you can
permanently turn the alarm volume off.
