Respiration Rate Alarm Limits
Initially, the Resp Alarm Settings menu specifies that Resp alarms are enabled ( ON ) or
disabled ( OFF ), and displays the default Upper and Lower respiration rate alarm limits. The
upper and lower limits can be ON or OFF (default is OFF ).The following table lists the default
respiration rate alarm limits for adult, pediatric, and neonate patients, and gives the range in
which you can set these limits:
Using the Resp Parameter Control Panel
To configure alarms through the Resp Parameter Control Panel, use the navigation keys to
highlight and select the Respiration Rate meter and display the Resp Parameter Control Panel:
The Resp Parameter Control Panel allows you to set the following parameters:
• RR/BR Alarm -- enable/disable the Resp alarm and set high/low alarm limits.
• No Breath Alarm -- sets the duration of the No Breath alarm.
• Resp Monitoring-- enable/disable respiration monitoring.
• Resp Lead -- selects the Resp lead, Ld I (RA-LA) or Ld II (RA-LL), from which the Propaq
M unit calculates the respiration rate. Resp Lead selection is independent of ECG Lead
selection.
• CO2/Resp Sweep Speed -- sets the respiratory sweep speed on the display.
