6 Alarms

6.1 Overview

The monitor gives audible or visual alarms to indicate the medical staff, when a vital sign of

the patient appears abnormal, or mechanical or electrical problems occur to the monitor.

Upon turning on the monitor, a beep will be heard. At the same time, the alarm indicator

will flash once in yellow and red. This is used to verify the audible and visual alarm

function of the monitor. If no beep is heard, or the alarm indicator doesn’t flash normally,

please do not use the monitor, and contact our customer service.

For details about alarm setup of this monitor, please refer to 4.4.2 Alarm Setup.

6.1.1 Alarm Categories

The alarms are divided into three categories: physiological alarms, technical alarms and

prompt information.

1. Physiological alarms

A physiological alarm either indicates that a monitored physiological parameter is out of

specified limits or indicates an abnormal patient condition. For example: HR TOO LOW,

ECG LOST or RESP ARTIFACT, etc. Physiological alarm messages are displayed in the

physiological alarms area of the main screen.

2. Technical alarms

Technical alarms are also referred to as system error messages. A technical alarm indicates

that the monitor or parts of the monitor is not capable of accurately monitoring the patient’s

condition due to improper operation or system failure. For example: ECG INIT ERR or

TEMP SELFTEST ERROR, etc. Technical alarm messages are usually displayed in the

technical alarms area of the main screen. But the technical alarms related to NIBP are

displayed in the lower part of the NIBP parameter window.
