Advisory Alarms
An advisory alarms has the lowest priority. It can result from one
of three conditions:
! When the monitor cannot produce a parameter value due to a
technical problem (e.g. a lead-off condition).
! A patient cable or accessory failure (e.g. a blocked line in the
pressure cuff).
! The presence of persistent artifact.
An advisory alarm has the following characteristics:
! The parameter box blinks and appears white.
! The monitor produces a single tone followed by a 1½ second
pause, continuously.
! The monitor displays the alarm cause in both the parameter
box and the message area.
! The monitor stops the alarm automatically when the condi-
tion ceases to exist.
! The monitor stops the alarm when a new alarm of equal or
higher grade is triggered.
