Alarms

Safety precautions

Familiarize yourself with the safety chapter of this manual for all safety precautions
related to the system. Some warnings or cautions may also be listed with detailed
instructions in this chapter.

Alarm conditions

There are two types of alarm conditions: physiological and technical.
Physiological alarm conditions are triggered by a patient measurement being outside
the parameter limits or by apnea. Only high and medium priority alarms are available
for clinical review in trends data or in the Single Patient View events. You can find
more information on them in the alarm log files.
Technical alarm conditions are triggered by an electrical, mechanical, or other failure
of the equipment, or by failure of a sensor or component.

Active alarms

Active alarms for a patient are sorted from top to bottom, by acknowledgement and
then by priority and then by time. Unacknowledged alarms are sorted to the top
of the list in a priority order. Within each priority group the most recent alarms are
sorted higher.
On the Hub only one alarm is visible at a time in the alarm area. To see more alarms,
