Alarm Information
2.10.1
Basics
• There are two types of alarms:
•
Physiological alarms:
The physiological parameters of the monitored patient
exceed the specified ranges, or the physiological exceptions of the patient cannot be
judged according to a single physiological parameter.
•
Technical alarms:
The patient cannot be monitored normally and accurately due to
faults in manual operation, technical faults, or faults in the monitor.
• The high priority alarm indicates only physiological alarms and a low battery alarm.
• The low priority alarm indicates only technical alarms, other than low battery.
• The Accutorr V provides functionality for selecting the upper limit and lower limit of each
physiological alarm.

Alarm Notification
1.
When an alarm occurs, the system notifies the user through the speaker, alarm indicator,
relevant 7-segment LED digit displays, and LCD status bar.
2.
When alarms of multiple levels occur simultaneously, the system notifies the user of the
alarm with the highest level through the speaker and alarm indicator.
3.
If the hospital Nurse Call system is available and connected to the monitor, the user can
be notified of relevant alarms through the Nurse Call system.
2.10.3
Audio Alarm Pause, Audio Alarm Off, and Audio Alarm Silencing
The monitor provides functionality for pausing (disabling) an audio alarm for 120 seconds.
After 120 seconds, the audio alarm notification functionality resumes. The user can resume
the audio alarm notification at any time. An alarm causes the monitor to terminate the
paused state.
• The monitor provides the ability to turn the audio alarm off globally. During audio alarm
off, a remind signal reminds the user every minute.
• The monitor provides the ability to silence an alarm. The monitor automatically exits the
alarm silenced status if a new technical or physiological alarm occurs.

Configuration management
The monitor provides a factory configuration and a user configuration. The monitor loads the
selected configuration when it is switched on. If no user configuration exists, the factory
configuration is automatically loaded.

Barcode scanner
The monitor can admit a patient using the barcode scanner.
