3.8 deMo Function
Select the [DEMO] item in the "SYSTEM MENU" to call up the "INPUT DEMO KEY". After entering
the password "2088", the system enters DEMO status.
The purpose of waveform demonstration is only to demonstrate the machine performance, and for training
purpose. In clinical application, this function is forbidden because the DEMO will mislead the medical staff to
treat the DEMO waveform and parameter as the actual data of the patient, which may result in the delay of
treatment or mistreatment. Therefore before entering this menu, you shall enter password.

AlArM
This chapter gives general information about the alarm and corresponding remedies.
Alarm setup and prompt messages are provided in respective parameter setup sections.
Warning
• When the monitor is powered on, the system may verify the audio and visual alarm function.
• Upon turning on the monitor, a "Do" will be heard and at the same time the indicator will flash once in
orange. This is used to verify the audio and visual alarm function of the system. Therefore, the user should
be carefully observe the status. If the audio and visual alarm function is not normal, it indicates that the
monitor cannot be used to monitor a patient. Please contact our company or service center.
4.1 Alarm Modes
4.1.1 Alarm level
Each alarm, either technical or physiological, has its own level. For alarm of higher level, when it occurs, the
system will give prompt in a more alert way. Some alarm's level can be set by the user via software. Others
can not by changed once defined by the system. Alarms in the monitor are divided into 7 levels, that is, high,
medium and low.
High-level alarm indicates the patient's life is in danger or the monitor under using has serious problem in
technical respect. It is the most serious alarm.
Medium-level alarm means serious warning.
Low-level alarm is a general warning.
Alarms are classified into three categories, which are physiological alarm, technical alarm and general alarm.
Physiological alarm refer to those alarms triggered by patient's physiological situation which could be
considered dangerous to his or her life, such as heart rate (HR) exceeding alarm limit (parameter alarms).
Technical alarm refer to system failure which can make certain monitoring process technically impossible
or make monitoring result unbelievable. Technical alarm is also called System Error Message. General alarm
belongs to those situations that can not be categorized into these two cases but still need to pay some
attention.
The monitor has preset the alarm level for the parameters. You can also modify the alarm level using the
method described in this chapter.
Alarm level of the System Error Message (technical alarm) is pre-set in the system.
All technical alarm level and general alarm level, some of the physiological alarm level are pre-set in the
system and can not be changed by user.
