The alarm reminder clock starts counting from the beginning again
every time the
key is pressed. If an alarm has been
acknowledged by pressing the key, and during the
next 3 minutes a new alarm (of whatever priority) occurs and is
silenced, the alarm reminder will sound 3 minutes later for the
highest priority alarm. The alarm reminder always functions for the
highest priority acknowledged alarm. The alarm reminder will not
sound if there is an active INOP or alarm present. For maximum
safety when monitoring patients, you must resolve active INOPs and
alarms quickly so that the alarm reminder function can operate.
Even when the alarms are suspended or individually switched off, the
corresponding parameter numeric will blink if an alarm condition
occurs and “Maintain Visual Alarms” is set to “Yes” in a special
Configuration Mode by your biomedical engineering department.
Note— The central stations 78560A, M2350A and M2360A can be
configured to silence and reset the alarms of the bedside monitors. If
your system is connected to such a central station you can silence an
alarm at the central station. The central stations 78504A and 78508A can
silence and reset the alarms of the bedside monitor only if configured to
do so by a Philips service engineer or hospital biomedical engineer. This
is then permanent and cannot be altered by the user.
