Setting Alarm Limits
Unless configured otherwise, heart rate alarms are preset at 30 bpm (bradycardia) and 150 bpm
(tachycardia). Refer to the R Series Configuration Guide for details on setting power-up alarm
limits.
To set alarm parameters:
1. Press the Alarms softkey to view the Alarm Set screen and softkeys.
2.
Press the Next Param or Prev Param softkey.
This scrolls the highlighted area among the different available vital signs.
If you want to change the state of the highlighted vital sign:
a. Press the Change Value softkey.
b. Press the Inc > or Dec < softkey to change the state value.
c. Press the Enter softkey.
The State field can be set to three possible values, Enable, Disable, or Auto.
•
Disable permanently turns off alarm processing for the selected physiological parameter.
•
Enable causes alarm processing to operate whenever alarms are activated via the front
panel ALARM key.
•
Selecting AUTO sets the lower and upper alarm limits to 80% and 120% of the patient’s
currently measured heart rate, if valid measurements are present for the vital sign when
the Enter softkey is pressed. (Refer to appropriate Operator’s Guide parameter insert(s)
for percentages associated with other parameters).
3.
Press the Next Field softkey to move to the Low or High field for the highlighted vital sign;
repeat steps 2a through 2c to change the Low or High value.
Note:
To recalculate the Low and High limits for any parameter when these limits have
previously been set using the AUTO State, follow the procedure above to select AUTO
again, and then press the Enter softkey. The unit automatically resets the Low and
High limits based upon the currently measured value of the selected physiological
parameter.
4.
Press the Return softkey to set all values and return to normal operating mode.
