Alarms
LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator alarms can be set up to be ON or OFF when the defibrillator is
turned on. For more information, see the
LIFEPAK 15 Monitor/Defibrillator Setup Options
provided with your device.
When alarms are set up to be ON, default limits are set. The limits temporarily appear to the right
of the active vital signs. For all vital sign default alarm limits, see Alarm Limits (on page 237).
If alarms are set up to be OFF, press
ALARMS
to enable the alarms. Whether alarms are set up
to be ON or are enabled by pressing
ALARMS
, they can only be turned off by pressing
ON
to turn
off the device. If power is lost for less than 30 seconds, for example due to a system reset or
changing the only active battery, alarm settings are restored automatically.
Setting Alarms
When you press
ALARMS
, the following menu appears:
Select
QUICK SET
to activate the alarms for
all active monitoring functions.
The Quick Set limits automatically set high
and low limits based on the patient’s current
vital sign values. For example, if the patient’s
HR is 70, selecting
WIDE
results in a high
limit of 110 and a low limit of 45; selecting
NARROW
results in a high limit of 100 and a
low limit of 50. The default is
WIDE
.
Select
LIMITS
to change alarm limits to
WIDE
or
NARROW
. See Alarm Limits (on
page 237).
Select
SILENCE
to turn off the audible alarm
for up to 15 minutes. If an alarm limit is
exceeded while the alarm is silenced, the
violated vital sign flashes and an alarm
message appears, but the alarm tone
remains silent.
If alarms are silenced for more than two
minutes, an alert tone of two quick beeps
sounds every 2.5 minutes. If alarms are
silenced for two minutes, the alert tone
sounds after 60 seconds.
Note
: The heart rate display and corresponding heart rate alarm should not be relied upon to
provide an indication of ventricular fibrillation. Turn on the VF/VT alarm.
