understand the ramifications of turning alarms off, silencing alarms, suspending alarms, and
resetting alarm criteria from factory defaults. Please read this section carefully.
WARNING: Do not temporarily silence or disable an audible alarm if
patient safety would be compromised. In the event of an adverse
patient condition, the audio alarm will not sound if it has been
temporarily silenced or disabled.
NOTE: During an alarm, bell next to SETUP page will flash, but all
alarm tones are suspended while ALARM SETUP screen is displayed.
Alarm tones are immediately enabled when you exit ALARM SETUP
screen.
NOTE: Check alarm limits each time a parameter is used to insure
they are appropriate for patient being monitored.
NOTE: Alarms for some parameters are factory set to default to OFF
setting. This may not be consistent with policies of your institution or
types of patients being monitored by Prism and Prism SE monitors.
Alarm Bells
If a steady solid bell is displayed, an alarm for associated parameter is turned
ON. Bell will also remain steady during a technical alarm, and an error
message will flash in associated parameter’s waveform display zone. On color
monitor, bell will turn from white to yellow during a technical alarm.
If a bell is displayed with an X through it, alarms for associated parameter are
turned OFF.
