Alarms
2001989-301A- draft 1 ApexPro™ 5-7
If you wish to continue pausing alarms after an Alarm Pause Breakthrough occurs,
you must re-initiate the alarm pause:
1. To re-initiate an alarms off with reason condition, select the alarms off reason in
the telemetry patient’s Alarm Control tab sheet.
2. To re-initiate an alarm pause from the transmitter, press both transmitter buttons
simultaneously twice.
NOTE
The transmitter buttons must be pressed once to end the alarm pause at the
transmitter, then a second time to start a new alarm pause at the transmitter
(see below).
The Pause Alarm LED on the transmitter continues to flash after an Alarm Pause
Breakthrough occurs. This is because there is no communication from the CIC Pro
center back to the transmitter to indicate that the alarm pause has ended.
After an Alarm Pause Breakthrough occurs, you can turn off the flashing Pause
Alarm LED by pressing both transmitter buttons simultaneously.
Silencing alarms
Temporarily silencing alarms from the CIC Pro center
WARNING
Do not continuously try to silence audible alarms. You may
inadvertently silence new patient alarms.
Once you are notified of an alarm condition, you can silence audible alarms from the
CIC Pro center for one minute by clicking the Silence Alarms button located on the
display screen or by pressing the Silence Alarms key located on the keyboard.
This sends a silence notification to the bedside monitor. For most GE monitors, this
silence notification will silence the alarms for up to one minute. However, the bedside
monitors must be configured to allow bedside alarms to be silenced from the CIC Pro
center.
