System alarm levels
WARNING
ADJUSTING SYSTEM ALARM LEVELS — The Leads Fail
alarm indicates that one or more electrodes are not connected to the
patient and, as a result, there is loss of all waveforms and arrhythmia
analysis. The
ARR SUSPEND alarm indicates that arrhythmia
conditions are not being detected and therefore alarms associated
with arrhythmias will not occur. The
Leads Fail and ARR
SUSPEND alarms should be adjusted to a lower priority level only
by experienced qualified personnel and with great caution.
Adjusting these alarms to a lower priority level may result in
reduced awareness of conditions that indicate the loss of patient
monitoring.
NOTE
Some alarm conditions may have a higher priority level at the bedside monitor. In
Combo mode, the alarm levels come from the telemetry settings. For example,
LEADS FAIL can be set to Crisis at a bedside monitor, but the telemetry setting
is a system Warning .
To make a change in the telemetry unit default alarm level for system alarms, first
access the
Telemetry Alarm Control Defaults tab as described in the Telemetry
Alarm Control Defaults section in this chapter. Then follow the procedure below.
1. In the Telemetry Alarm Control Defaults tab, the System Alarm Levels for
which unit defaults can be set appears on the right side of the window:

2. Click in the Level field of the system alarm you wish to modify. A down arrow
button appears in the field.
3. Click on the down arrow button. A popup list of alarm level selections appears.
4. Click on your choice to select it.
