Alarm Volume Control
As explained in Chapter 5, you can adjust the Alarm Volume from
the Options menu. You can select Loud or Soft, depending on your
preference.
What to Do When An Alarm Occurs
Complete the following steps when an alarm occurs:
1. Whenever an alarm occurs, rst always observe the patient
and ensure that adequate ventilation and oxygenation (if
appropriate) are available.
2. Look at the alarm indicators and listen to the audible alarm
sound. Note the color of the Alarm Indicator/Audio Pause button
(red or yellow) and whether the LED is solid or ashing.
3. Look at the display to check the alarm message that appears on-
screen and whether it is highlighted in red or yellow.
4. Press the Alarm Indicator/Audio Pause button to temporarily
silence the audible alarm. A visual indicator displays if you are on
the Monitor screen ( ), or an “Audio Pause” message appears in
the menu banner on the Alarm Display screen.
5. Look up the alarm in the alarm descriptions later in this chapter
to determine the source of the alarm and the appropriate action.
WARNING
Make sure the alarm volume is
set loud enough to be heard by
the caregiver. Consider the use of
a remote alarm.
WARNING
You should not rely on any
single alarm to detect a circuit
disconnect condition. The Low
Tidal Volume, Low Minute
Ventilation, Low Respiratory
Rate, and Apnea alarms should
be used in conjunction with the
Circuit Disconnect alarm.
