To Switch Individual Measurement Alarms On or Off

While Alarms are Paused or Off
The red Alarms Paused lamp on the monitor front panel is lit.
In the alarm field, the monitor displays the message
ALARMS PAUSED 1:28 or ALARMS OFF,
together with the alarms paused symbol or the alarms off symbol.
No alarms are sounded and no alarm messages are shown.
INOP messages are shown but no INOP tones are sounded.
The only exceptions are the INOPs
CUFF NOT DEFLATED, NBP CUFF OVERPRESS and INOPs
relating to empty, missing and malfunctioning batteries.
These INOPs switch the alarms on, and the INOP tones are sounded, even if alarms are paused or
off. You need to remove the INOP condition first before you can switch the alarm tones off again.
The nurse call relay is not active.
If a disconnect INOP is present and alarms are paused or switched off, the measurement in question
may be switched off, depending on monitor configuration.
Restarting Paused Alarms
To manually switch on alarm indication again after a pause, select the permanent key Pause Alarms (or
Alarms Off) again.
Alarm indication starts again automatically after the pause period expires. If the monitor is configured
to stay paused infinitely, you must select
Alarms Off again to restart alarm indication.
Resetting Arrhythmia Alarm Timeouts
To reset the arrhythmia alarm timeout period, select the Alarms Off or Pause Alarms permanent key
and then reselect it.
