Note:
The bedside monitor is the primary monitoring and alarming device for
Spacelabs-monitored parameters.
When a parameter value on a bedside monitor exceeds an alarm limit, that monitor
initiates an alarm. User notification of an alarm has five possible characteristics:
visual, audible (tone), recording, alarm relay, and alarm watch.
Higher-priority alarms relate to changes in the patient’s condition. Lower-priority
alarms typically relate to changes in signal quality. Higher-priority alarms always
override lower-priority alarms.
