Recording Alarms
The monitor initiates a timed recording for life-threatening
alarms and limit violations provided that:
! The parameter is being monitored.
! The parameter alarm is enabled.
! The parameter alarm recording is enabled.
! A recorder/printer is available.
Turn parameter alarms and alarm recordings on or off on the
Alarm Limits or the Arrhythmia Setup tables (see the chapters
Alarms and Messages and Arrhythmia).
Alarm recordings have priority over timed, trend, and diagnostic
log recordings (e.g., if a trend recording is in progress, the moni-
tor immediately cancel it to print the alarm recording instead).
NOTES:
! The monitor prints a recording for life-threatening alarms even
if the alarm recording function is turned off.
! Continuous recordings have priority over alarm recordings.
Alarm recordings cannot be printed while continuous record-
ings are already in progress.
! Neonatal OCRG apnea alarm recordings print 144 seconds of
patient data, consisting of 108 seconds of pre-event data and 36
seconds of post-event data.
The monitor cancels an alarm recording if you modify the dis-
play, size, or scale of a waveform during recording. You can also
cancel an alarm recording by pressing the monitor’s Record fixed
key or the
Stop key on the recorder. The monitor alerts you to a
cancelled recording request by briefly displaying the message
“Recording Cancelled.”
If a cascaded waveform is displayed, the recording prints out only
the top waveform. If a new alarm occurs while an earlier alarm is
ready to print or the printing is in progress, the monitor finishes
printing out the first alarm recording and ignores the second
alarm recording.
