8.7 Testing Alarms
When you switch the monitor on, the monitor will prompt two “Di” tone that means the audio in
selftest is normal. You must check that the alarm indicator light is normal (it lights in red, yellow
and blue in turn during starting up). This indicates that the visible and auditory alarm indicators
are functioning correctly. For further testing of individual measurement alarms, perform the
measurement on yourself or use a simulator. Adjust alarm limits and check that appropriate alarm
behavior is observed.
NOTE:
The monitor will reboot in 3 seconds due to self-test failure.
8.8 Alert Setup
In Ward round mode or spot-checking mode, the monitor provides vital signs alarms (such as
SpO
2
No Pulse, SpO
2
Desat), and if physiological parameters of the currently monitored patient
exceed the predefined limit, the monitor will give alert information instead of physiological
alarms.
Enter the respective parameter setup menu to set alert limit and alert switch.
Alert can be indicated by the system in following different ways:
Parameter area has two flash methods to prompt: background flash and text flash. User can
select one method from Alert Method.
A sound of DU is used to indicate alert.
Parameters storage table (including the table in main interface and the table in data
management window) and has red mark to indicate the alert value.
Alert information area displays prompts with blue background. (alert information area is the
physiological alarm area in monitor mode.)
NOTE:
1 For TEMP module, TEMP alert can only be used in predictive mode of quick TEMP
and in infrared TEMP.
2 Generally, monitor displays SYS alert value. When multiple values are abnormal,
alert value will be displayed in order of SYS, DIA and MAP.
3 When alert is set to Off, the monitor won’t give a prompt even if an alert occurs. In
order to avoid endangering the patient’s life, the user should use this function
cautiously.
