To keep false alarms to a minimum, the monitor briefly delays or “holds off”
triggering audible and visual alarms for limit violations for these vital signs.
After the hold-off period begins, if the monitor detects that the vital sign has
returned to acceptable limits, the monitor cancels the alarm. The next time a
limit is violated, the monitor starts a new hold-off.
Audio alarm hold-off with Acuity When a monitor is connected to Acuity, the audio alarms at the monitor can
be delayed up to 4 minutes and 15 seconds. The delay time is selected in
Acuity software at the time of Acuity installation. Visual alarm indications
are not delayed.
Acuity has a default audio alarm hold-off of 11 seconds.
Alarms suspend When ‘alarms suspend’ is enabled, the monitor alarm tones for all
parameters can be suspended on the floor for a configurable period: 90
seconds, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes (default), 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15
minutes, or 60 minutes.
Patient out - of - range;
transmitter failure
When a monitor is used with Acuity, an equipment alert is generated
whenever the monitor fails to communicate with Acuity after a connection
has been successfully established. In addition, the ‘No Acuity’ icon is
displayed on the monitor.
Battery failure An equipment alert is generated before the monitor battery becomes
exhausted.
Snapshot/event mark When is pressed, the monitor records a Snapshot. If the monitor is
connected to Acuity, the monitor also sends a message to Acuity so Acuity
can mark and print it.
