By severity, the alarms are classified into the following priority levels:
■ High priority alarms: indicates a life threatening situation or a severe device malfunction. High priority
alarms require an immediate response.
■ Medium priority alarms: indicates abnormal vital signs or a device malfunction. Medium priority alarms
require a timely response.
■ Low priority alarms: indicate a discomfort condition, a device malfunction, or an improper operation. Low
priority alarms require you to be aware of this condition.

6.3.3 Alarm Indicators
When an alarm occurs, the monitor indicates it through visual or audible alarm indications. For more
information, see the following table.
NOTE
• When multiple alarms of different priority levels occur simultaneously, the monitor selects the
highest priority alarm to light the alarm lamp and issue the alarm tone.
• When multiple alarms of different priority levels occur simultaneously and should be displayed in
the same area, the monitor only displays the messages from the highest priority alarm.
• When multiple alarms of the same priority levels occur simultaneously and should be displayed in
the same area, all the alarm messages are displayed cyclically.
• Some physiological alarms, such as Asystole, are exclusive. They have identical alarm tones and
alarm lights with normal high level physiological alarms, but their alarm messages are displayed
