Press the Alarm Reset quick key to acknowledge the ongoing alarms and reset the alarm system. When the
alarm system is reset, the alarm reset symbol displays in the system status information area for alarm symbols.
• If a new alarm is triggered after the alarm system is reset, the alarm reset icon will disappear and the
alarm light and alarm tone will be reactivated.

For physiological alarms, when the alarm system is reset, the following occur:
■ The alarm sound is silenced.
■ A √ appears before the alarm message, indicating that the alarm is acknowledged.

numeric does not flash.

■ Some technical alarms are cleared. The monitor gives no alarm indications.
■ Some technical alarms are changed to prompt messages.

6.9 Latching Alarms
The latching setting for physiological alarms defines how alarm indicators behave if you do not reset the alarms.
■ If you do not “latch” physiological alarms, their alarm indications disappear when the alarm condition ends.
■ If you “latch” physiological alarms, all visual and audible alarm indications remains (if configured) until the
alarms are reset. For latched alarms the time when the alarm is last triggered is displayed behind the alarm
message.
