Alarms
Attention tones
The Cockpit also provides an attention tone to alert
you to special information such as:
– Start of venous stasis
– End of zeroing a transducer
– Arrival of laboratory data
– Alarm messages from a remote bed within the
same alarm group
An attention tone sounds once as a chime (that is,
two tones in the same pitch). To set the attention
tone volume, refer to page 142.
Adjusting the alarm volume
The volume of the alarm tone is adjustable. Make
sure you set the alarm volume so that it is suitable
for the clinical environment.
The alarm status indicating the alarm
volume displays in the Cockpit alarm
message header. In the following
example the alarm volume is set at 50% which is
indicated by the percentage.
To adjust the alarm volume
1 Select the Alarms... button on the main menu
bar.
2 Select the Settings tab.
3 Select the button Alarm volume [%] and select
the desired volume (5%, 10 to 100% in
increments of 10%).
Special conditions affecting the alarm
volume
There are several conditions that affect the alarm
volume of the Cockpit.
Minimum alarm volume setting
The alarm volume is tied to the setting Minimum
alarm volume (see page 461 for more
information). If the minimum alarm volume is set to
a higher volume than the selected alarm volume,
the alarm volume is adjusted to the higher setting.
If the minimum alarm setting is set to a lower setting
than the current alarm volume, the alarm volume
does not change.
Cockpit and ICS lose connection
If the Cockpit was assigned to the ICS and it loses
its connection to the ICS, you can no longer turn the
alarm volume off at the Cockpit. In this case, the
alarm tone setting goes automatically to 100%.
Once the Cockpit restores its connection to the ICS,
the previous setting for the alarm volume is
reinstated.
However, if the connection to the ICS is lost while
the Cockpit is in OR mode and the Minimum alarm
volume setting is set to Off, you can still turn the
alarm volume off at the Cockpit.
For more information about the network
communication, see page 48.
NOTE
Unlike attention tones, pulse tones for ECG or
SpO2 consist of a single tone.
NOTE
If the Alarm volume off feature is enabled in the
Code setup page (see page 464), the alarm
volume is automatically reduced to its minimum
alarm volume setting when you select the Code
button on the main menu bar.
