Setting the Alarm Filter
WARNING! Incorrectly set alarm limits endanger risk of non-alerting!
Activating or changing the alarm filter settings is a serious intervention in the device functions and
may never be done without consulting the doctor in charge of the treatment!
For canceling short and therefore irrelevant alarm conditions, an alarm filter can be set.
no alarm filter
with alarm filter
The alarm filter produces a “silent alarm”. During the set alarm filter time period (adjustable between
0=OFF and 20 seconds maximum), the occurence of an alarm condition for oxygen saturation and/or pulse
rate will NOT lead to an acoustical nor optical alarm. After the above mentioned alarm filter time period,
the alarm will be generated. If in the meantime the source of the alarm condition will vanish, there will be
no alarm at all.
The alarm filters can be configured individually for SpO
2
low and also for pulse rate high.
This feature will increase user compliance by suppressing short alarm periods.
The alarm filters are deactivated when shipped from the factory. (0=OFF)
