Spectra Alerts: Alert Indications
Resolved Alerts
Resolved alerts function similar to the FHR alarms, yet differently from the maternal
alarms.
„ Resolved, Unsilenced Alert: You must acknowledge an alert—even if the
condition has already been resolved. The visual and audible indication remain
present until you press the
Alarm Silence
button. This ensures that a clinician is
aware that an alert occurred. You may hear this type of alert described as
latching .
„
Resolved, Silenced, Alert: If you have already silenced an alert, the visual
indications disappear automatically.
Alert Suspension Feature
When a care provider is at the patient’s bedside, it may be desirable to suspend the
audio component of alerts. When you suspend alerts, the audio indication is
inhibited as well as the nurse call interface; the visual indications remain active and
data continues to be assessed.
Enabling/Disabling the Alert Suspension Feature
The alert suspension feature must be enabled/disabled on the password-protected
Install Options
service screen. Refer to the 250cx Series Service Manual for more
information.
The alert suspension feature has two settings:
„
Off
(disabled): users cannot activate the function.
„
On
(enabled): users can manually activate/de-activate the function.
Suspending Audio Alerts (and the Nurse Call Interface)
To suspend alerts, press and hold the
Alarm Silence
button for approximately 3
seconds; you will hear two beeps as feedback.
While suspended:
„ alerts are only indicated visually on the monitor’s display screen;
„
an alert suspension icon displays next to the FHR mode title(s);
„ an alert suspension icon prints on the strip chart paper along with the active
FHR mode annotations(s); and
„ alert output to a nurse call system is inhibited.
Refer to the figures on this page.
Restoring Audio Alerts (and the Nurse Call Interface)

button for
approximately 3 seconds; you will hear two beeps as feedback.
