Alarms
The lower the number, the quieter the alarm volume. Note that the minimum allowed
alarm volume levels are set in the
Care Unit Settings .
Audible and visual alarm signals
Alarm signals indicate that an alarm condition is present. The alarm priority levels are
indicated by visual and audible signals. The visual and audible alarm signals assume
that the patient monitor and the operator are within the patient environment (1.5
meters).
When physiological alarm messages are received from other monitors on the S/5
Network, only the most recent and highest priority message is shown. There are no
flashing numerics or background color. No messages are shown in the parameter
window area.
The following table lists alarm signals for different alarm priority levels:

auditory test signal. There are also other auditory information signals indicating the
status of some parameter measurements.
