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
Before monitoring a new patient, always check that the monitor can work properly, the
alarm system works properly, and the alarm settings are appropriate for the patient before
starting the monitoring.
In order to ensure that the operator can accurately identify the alarms, it is recommended
that the distance between the operator and monitor should not exceed 4 meters. If the
alarm event needs to be clearly distinguished, it is recommended that the distance
between the operator and the monitor should not be more than 1 meter (there should be
no obstacle within the visual effective distance above)
6.1 Alarm Categories
The monitor's alarms are classified into three categories: physiological alarms, technical alarms, and prompt
messages.
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 display in the
physiological alarm area.
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 display in the
technical alarm area.
Prompt messages
Prompt messages are not alarm messages. 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. For some
measurements, their related prompt messages display in their respective parameter windows.
6.2 Physiological and Technical Alarms
By severity, the monitor's alarm is classified into three categories: high level, medium level, and low level.
Also, the monitor has preset alarm levels about the physiological alarm and technical alarm.
