Alarms
6-2
6.1 Overview
The monitor gives audible or visual alarms to indicate the medical staff, when a vital
sign of the patient appears abnormal, or mechanical or electrical problems occur to
the monitor.
Upon turning on the monitor, a beep will be heard. At the same time, the alarm
indicator will flash once in yellow and red. This is used to verify the audible and
visual alarm function of the monitor. If no beep is heard, or the alarm indicator
doesn’t flash normally, please do not use the monitor, and contact our customer
service.
For details about alarm setup of this monitor, please refer to

6.1.1 Alarm Categories
The alarms are divided into three categories: physiological alarms, technical alarms
and prompt information.
1. Physiological alarms
A physiological alarm either indicates that a monitored physiological parameter is
out of specified limits or indicates an abnormal patient condition. For example: HR
TOO LOW, ECG LOST or RESP ARTIFACT, etc. Physiological alarm messages are
displayed in the physiological alarms area of the main screen.
2. Technical alarms
Technical alarms are also referred to as system error messages. A technical alarm
indicates that the monitor or parts of the monitor is not capable of accurately
monitoring the patient’s condition due to improper operation or system failure. For
example: ECG INIT ERR or TEMP SELFTEST ERROR, etc. Technical alarm
messages are usually displayed in the technical alarms area of the main screen. But
the technical alarms related to NIBP are displayed in the lower part of the NIBP
parameter window.
3. Prompt information
Strictly speaking, prompt information cannot be counted in alarms. It is usually
information relating to the system, but not concerning vital signs of patients. For
