1.3.5 ALARMS<br />
The <strong>Accutorr</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> provides “HI” and “LO” alarm limit settings for systolic, diastolic,<br />
MAP, pulse rate and SpO2. An alarm violation occurs when one or more patient<br />
parameters equals or falls outside the limits that have been specified.<br />
1.3.5.1 Setting Alarm Limits<br />
The Factory Default for all parameter alarms, except Low SpO2, is OFF. The Low SpO2<br />
factory default is 86. The User Configuration mode can be used to set custom defaults.<br />
See section 1.3.15, User Configuration for details. The factory and custom defaults for<br />
alarms can be changed as required to accommodate the needs of individual patients. The<br />
SET ALARMS key (29) and the Patient Info. Up and Down Arrow keys (27 & 28) are<br />
used to set alarm values.<br />
1. Press the SET ALARMS key (29) (1 beep) to enter into the alarm set mode.<br />
The first time this key is pressed, all NIBP displays blank except for the systolic<br />
display which shows the current high systolic alarm value. The word HI is displayed<br />
in the Interval/Elap. Time/Temp display (33). When the unit has been configured to<br />
display graphics, the symbol is displayed. When the graphic is displayed, the<br />
top lines blink. This indicates the high alarm is selected.<br />
The second time the SET ALARMS key (29) is pressed the Systolic LO parameter is<br />
selected. The word LO is displayed in the Interval/Elap. Time/Temp display (33).<br />
When the unit has been configured to display graphics, the symbol is<br />
displayed. When the graphic is displayed, the bottom lines blink. This indicates the<br />
low alarm is selected.<br />
Each time the SET ALARMS key (29) is pressed a new parameter is selected for alarm<br />
setting (all other displays blank). The order they are available is: Systolic HI, Systolic<br />
LO, Diastolic HI, Diastolic LO, MAP HI, MAP LO, Pulse Rate HI, and Pulse Rate<br />
LO, SpO2 HI and SpO2 LO. When all of the available parameters have been selected,<br />
the next press of the SET ALARMS key returns the <strong>Accutorr</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> to normal<br />
operation.<br />
2. To change an alarm limit setting, use the Patient Info. Up & Down Arrow keys (27 &<br />
28). The Up arrow increments the alarm limit setting. The Down arrow decrements<br />
the alarm limit setting.<br />
To cancel all of the changed alarm values while still in progress of changing, press the<br />
DEFAULTS key (14) (1 beep tone).<br />
If the SET ALARMS or Arrow keys have not been pressed for 15 seconds, the<br />
<strong>Accutorr</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> returns to normal operation and saves any alarm limit changes.<br />
NOTE: If the patient size is changed, the alarm settings will change to the default<br />
settings for the new patient size.<br />
