Selecting Default Alarm Limits
The first three options -- Default Adult, Default Pediatric, Default Neonate -- allow you to set all
alarm limits to the Propaq MD unit’s factory-specified default values, by patient type.
Warning! • A potential hazard exists if different alarm limits are used for the same or similar
equipment in any single area.
• Confirm the alarm limits are appropriate for the patient each time there is a new
patient case.
• Do not set alarm limits to such extreme values that render the alarm system useless.
