Changing alarm limits
At the monitor
Typically, each institution determines the appropriate alarm limits for adult, pediatric, and
neonatal patients and then configures the monitor with those alarm limits before putting
the monitor into service. These become the default alarm limits for the monitor—the
alarm limits used each time the monitor is powered on.
The configured alarm limits remain in effect until the monitor configuration is changed.
However, you can temporarily change the current patient’s alarm limits.
To temporarily change alarm limits for the current patient
1.
Highlight the vital sign for which you want to set custom limits.
2.
Press

3.
Highlight the limit you want to change.

When the monitor is turned off, you will have a choice of saving the current settings and
stored patient data or deleting the current settings and patient data. Neither choice affects
the default settings for the monitor.
