Adult-Pediatric and Neonatal Settings
The factory default patient monitoring mode is ADULT-
PEDIATRIC, which uses upper and lower alarm limits for oxygen
saturation and pulse rate that are typically appropriate for adult and
pediatric patients. If you are monitoring a neonate or infant, you
can change to the neonatal monitoring mode by pressing the
LIMITS softkey and selecting NEO. The upper and lower limits for
monitoring a neonate or infant differ from those for an adult or a
pediatric patient.
If you modify the default value(s) of alarm limits in either the adult
or neonate monitoring mode, the change will remain in effect only
until the monitor is turned off. You will need to reenter your limit
changes each time you turn on the monitor.
Caution: Each time the monitor is used, check the alarm limits
and the monitoring mode to ensure that they are appropriate
for the patient you are monitoring.
The clinician will advise you as to whether or not you should use
alarm limits other than the default values when monitoring the
patient. If needed, the clinician can program the monitor to override
the default limits, using instead the settings appropriate for the
