Technical Alarms Alarm Behavior
7 - 4 V Series Operating Instructions
Low Level Alarms
Low level alarms are the least severe of the three alarm levels. Low level alarm conditions cause the
applicable parameter digital tile numeric to display in blue (for a physiological alarm), display a blue
text message in the parameter tile message area (if alarm delay is not enabled), use a low level alarm
sound, and if configured, the alarm light indicator displays the corresponding alarm response color. A
parameters’ alarm limit is configured in the respective parameter dialog’s Alarms tab.
All Off
Any alarm levels can be turned off, including lethal alarms. Parameters configured to use All Off do
not have any visual or audio alarm indicators, however, Nurse Call still functions.
7.3 Technical Alarms
Technical alarms are patient specific and are related to technical issues.Due to their potential severity
if left unattended, some technical alarms behave as physiological alarms by enunciating and flashing
in the chosen alarm priority color. The GM3 Disconnect and Low Battery technical alarms are
examples of this.
7.3.1 Alarm Behaviors
The visual and audio indicators associated with a technical alarm are as follows:
Visual Indicators
Technical visual indicators display as white text messages in the parameter tile’s message area.
Audio Indicators
