Instructions for use – Infinity Acute Care System – Monitoring Applications VG6.n 145
Alarms
Alarm groups
The Cockpit can receive alarm messages from
other monitors that are connected to the Infinity
network. However, these monitors must be in the
same monitoring unit and in the same alarm group
as the Cockpit. To configure alarm settings and
groups for remote monitors, refer to Configuring
alarm settings temporarily, page 142.
The alarm group feature allows you to configure
several monitors as members of a group. All alarms
that occur at any of the monitors within the group
are broadcast to all the members in the alarm
group, typically in less than two seconds.
If multiple monitors in the alarm group are in alarm
simultaneously, each alarm message rotates in the
header bar of the Cockpit and in the alarm message
field of each monitor.
The display of remote alarm messages requires
configuration (see page 145); whereas, the color
scheme corresponds to the priority of the alarm
from the Cockpit. For information about alarm
priorities, see page 109.
The remote alarm messages display in the
following format:
<bed label> -- <alarm message> up to 40
characters
