Alarms
Setting Alarm Limits
Unless configured otherwise, heart rate alarms are
preset at 30 bpm (bradycardia) and 150 bpm
(tachycardia). Refer to the E Series Configuration Guide
for details on setting power-up alarm limits.
To set alarms:
1. Press the Alarms softkey to view the Alarm Set
screen and softkeys.
2. Press the Select Param softkey.
This scrolls the highlighted area among the different
possible vital signs.
3. Press the Inc or Dec softkeys to select ENABLE,
DISABLE, or AUTO in the State field.
•
If you press the Next Field softkey after selecting
either ENABLE or DISABLE, the unit sets the
selected State value and moves the highlight to
the next field on the right (Low limit field).
• If you press the Next Field softkey after selecting
AUTO, the unit sets the lower and upper limits to
80% and 120% of the patient’s currently measured
heart rate if valid measurements are present for
the vital sign. (Refer to appropriate Operator’s
Guide parameter insert(s) for percentages
associated with other parameters). The highlight
shifts to the next parameter field.
Note: To recalculate the Low and High limits for any
parameter when these limits have previously
been set using the AUTO State, press the Inc or
Dec softkeys until AUTO is selected again and
then press the Next Field softkey. The unit
automatically resets the Low and High limits
based upon the currently measured value of the
selected physiological parameter.
4. If you did not select AUTO, press the Inc or Dec
softkeys to set the Low alarm limit value, then press
the Next Field softkey to confirm the selected value
and move the highlight to the next setting field to the
right (High limit field).
Repeat this step for the High limit field.
5. Press the Return softkey to set all values and return
to normal operating mode.
Vital Sign Alarms
Each vital sign has an associated alarm with a high and
low limit. You can set alarm limits for patient heart rate
and other optional monitoring parameters such as pulse
oximetry (SpO
2
) if available.
The E Series unit has three levels of alarms as follows:
• High Priority — Reflects physiological parameters
that are out of bounds. When these alerts occur, the
unit emits a continuous audio tone, highlights the
alarming parameter, and flashes the associated
alarm symbol.
• Medium Priority — Reflects equipment- related,
user correctable faults such as LEAD OFF and
CHECK SPO2 SENSOR. The unit emits a two beep
audio tone and displays a message for a timed
period.
• Low Priority — Informational message only; the unit
emits a two beep audio tone and displays a message
for a timed period.
Heart Rate Alarm Limits
The heart rate is displayed in the upper right-hand corner
of the screen, above the heart symbol.
Unless configured otherwise, heart rate alarms are
preset at 30 bpm (bradycardia) and 150 bpm
(tachycardia). The low heart rate alarm limit range is
20 bpm to 100 bpm.
When the unit is monitoring a patient’s heart rate through
ECG, the range for the high heart rate alarm is 60 to
WARNING
Heart rate alarms are non-operational when the AED
unit is in semi-automatic mode.
