Alarm Safety Information
WARNING
•
A potential hazard can exist if different alarm presets and default settings are
used for the same or similar equipment in the same care area, for example an
intensive care unit or cardiac operating room.
•
The equipment in your care area may each have different alarm settings to
suit different patients. Always check that the alarm settings are appropriate
for your patient before start infusing.
•
When the alarm sound is paused, the equipment gives no alarm tones even if
a new alarm occurs. Be careful about whether to pause the alarm sound or
not. When the alarm sound is paused, observe the patient frequently.
•
Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system during an infusion.
Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level may result in a hazard to the
patient. Always make sure that the audio alarm volume level is adequate in
your care environment. Always keep the patient under close surveillance.
•
Fully evaluate the risk before changing the alarm mode setting. New alarms
may be failed to be detected if the operator is not familiar with the new
sound.
5.2
Understanding the Alarms
NOTE
•
The tones of the alarm sound and the reminder sound are different.
•
The frequency of the reminder sound and the bolus sound is 600Hz, which is
different from the frequency of alarm sound.
•
When multiple alarms occur simultaneously, the alarm messages are
displayed circularly, and the sound and light of the higher priority alarm are
given.
