Alarms Alarms
13 - 8 0070- 0-0704-02 Passport V Operating Instructions
“Non-Lethal” Arrhythmia Alarms are priority 2 alarms by default. These alarms will silence
and cancel automatically if the patient's condition is corrected.
E. ST Alarms
ST alarms can be set for either single lead alarm or dual lead alarm. The ST single lead
alarm will be initiated if one ST lead has exceeded the set alarm parameters. The ST dual
lead alarm will be initiated if two ST leads have exceeded the set alarm parameters.
ST alarms are latching alarms. They will not be silenced unless the operator acknowledges
the alarm by pressing the Silence or Silence All keys.
F. Indications of Disabled or Silenced Alarms
ALARM OFF ICON
If any alarm for a monitored parameter is not set, an Alarm Off Icon, a triangle with an
“X” through it, will be displayed in the upper area of the screen.
VOLUME - The audio level of the alarm can be adjusted through the Monitor
Setup Menu.
ALARM SILENCE
One or more alarms can be silenced for a programmable length of time. The following is a
description of how to enable the different silence modes.
Silence - This key silences alarms on parameters for a programmed length of time (default is
2 minutes), or until the alarm condition is no longer present, whichever is shorter. Any new
alarms that occur during the silenced period will disable the silence and the alarm will sound
the tone. An Alarm Silence Icon, a bell with an “X” through it, is displayed in the upper
area of the screen. A message and digital timer counts down in the upper message area.
Pressing Silence again does not re-enable audio alarms.
Silence All - This key suspends alarms on all parameters for a programmed period of time
(default is 2 minutes). An Alarm Silence Icon, a bell with an “X” through it, is displayed in
the upper area of the screen. A message and timer appear in the upper message area
showing the time remaining. Pressing Silence All at any time re-enables audio alarm tones.
If Silence All For is set to Permanent in the Alarm Setup menu, the message All
Alarms Silenced Permanently is displayed. Note that the Permanent selection will be
available only if Enable Silence All Permanent Selection is set to “Yes” in the
Installation Menu.
The time period for Silence and Silence All is adjustable via the Alarm Setup menu.
