Chapter 6 Alarms
Alarms, triggered by a vital sign that appears abnormal or by technical problems of the monitor, are indicated to the user
by visual and audible alarm indications.
6.1 Alarm Categories
By nature, the monitor’s alarms can be classified into three categories: physiological alarms, technical alarms and prompt
messages.
1. Physiological alarms
Physiological alarms, also called patient status alarms, are triggered by a monitored parameter value that violates set
alarm limits or an abnormal patient condition. Physiological alarm messages are displayed in the physiological alarm area.
2. Technical alarms
Technical alarms, also called system status alarms, are triggered by a device malfunction or a patient data distortion due
to improper operation or mechanical problems. Technical alarm messages are displayed in the technical alarm area.
3. Prompt messages
As a matter of fact, prompt messages are not alarm messages. Apart from the physiological and technical alarm messages,
the monitor will show some messages telling the system status or patient status. Messages of this kind are included in the
prompt message category and usually displayed in the prompt information area. Some prompt messages that indicate
arrhythmia events are displayed in the physiological alarm area. For some measurements, their related prompt messages
are displayed in their respective parameter windows.
6.2 Alarm Levels
By severity, the monitor’s alarm can be classified into three categories: high level, medium level and low level. In addition,
the monitor has preset alarm level about physiological alarm and technical alarm.
