LOST PULSE alarms are
generated as low-priority alarms if they occur within the spot mode time. While
in spot mode, the length of spot mode operation is further increased by taking a
manual NIBP determination.
Under all other conditions, these alarms are generated as high-priority alarms. If
the low-priority alarms are not acknowledged within 1 minute, they escalate to
high-priority alarms.
