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.
WARNING
A potential hazard can exist if different alarm presets are used for the same or similar equipment in any
single area, e.g. an intensive care unit or cardiac operating room.
If your monitor is connected to the central monitoring system (CMS) or other monitors, alarms can be
displayed and controlled remotely. Remote suspension, inhibition, or silence of monitor alarms via the CMS
or other monitors may cause a potential hazard. For details, refer to the operator’s manual of the CMS and
the other monitors.

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.
Apart from the physiological and technical alarm messages, the monitor shows 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.
