WARNING
•
This device is not intended to be used for vital signs monitoring. If vital signs monitoring is
required, a dedicated device should be used for this purpose.
•
When adjusting alarm volume, ensure that the alarm can be heard above the ambient noise
levels that the patient may experience in a variety of settings, including use in noisy
environments or inside mobility bags.
The device is fitted with alarms to alert you to changes that will affect your treatment.
Alarm messages are displayed along the top of the screen. High priority alarms are displayed in red,
medium priority alarms in yellow and low priority alarms in light blue. The Alarm LED lights red during
high priority alarms and yellow during medium and low priority alarms.
The alarm volume can be set Low, Medium or High. From the Setup menu, select Alarm Settings. After
the set value has been confirmed, the alarm will sound and the alarm LED lights.
Alarm settings, refer to Setup menu: Alarm Settings (Alarm Volume) (see page 19).
You can mute an alarm by pressing
again. When an alarm is muted, the Alarm mute key LED will light constantly. If after two minutes the
problem is still present, the alarm will sound again for high or medium priority alarms except for the
Internal Battery Low (30%, approximately 30 minutes remaining*) alarm. This alarm will be permanently
muted with both the audible signal and alarm message cleared. However, these indicators will initiate
again when the Internal Battery Empty (2 minutes remaining) alarm is activated. Any active low priority
alarm will be permanently muted and the Internal Battery Use alarm will be cleared until the alarm
condition is fulfilled again.
