Prompt information
Strictly speaking, prompt information cannot be counted in alarms. It is usually information
relating to the system, but not concerning vital signs of patients. For example, the monitor
prompts “NIBP alarm disabled!” at the time the monitor is powered on. Besides, if a
parameter module is turned on but the required leads or sensor are not connected, the
monitor will prompt accordingly, such as “ECG LEAD OFF” or “SPO2 SENSOR OFF”, etc.
Prompt information is usually displayed in the technical alarms area. But the prompt
information relating to NIBP is displayed in the lower part of the NIBP paramter window.
NOTE
•
To distinguish from the prompt information, the alarm message is displayed
with yellow or red background.
6.1.2 Alarm Levels
The alarms are divided into three priority levels: high level alarms, medium level alarms
and low level alarms.
1.
High level alarms
•
The patient ‘s life is in danger and requires emergency treatment, or
•
Serious technical problem occurs to the monitor, such as error in ECG module
initialization.
2.
Medium level alarms
•
Vital signs of the patient become abnormal, and patient requires immediate treatment,
or
•
Certain technical problem occurs to the monitor, such as error in temperature
calibration.
3.
Low level alarms
•
Certain technical alarm occurs to the monitor, such as ECG lead off in measurement.
The levels of all technical alarms and some physiological alarms are not user-adjustable,
because they have been fixed when the monitor is produced. However, you can change the
levels of some physiological alarms in the corresponding parameter setup menus.
All physiological alarms, technical alarms and prompt information are given in chapter
Alarm Messages and Prompt Information.
