Managing Alarm Functions
WARNINGS
Always respond promptly to any alarm condition; otherwise, treatment of the patient
could be delayed.
You should ensure that the current alarm preset is appropriate prior to use on each
patient. Failure to do so may cause a lapse in patient monitoring.
Setting the alarm limits to extreme values can render alarm monitoring useless. Also,
potential hazard can exist if different alarm monitoring settings are used for the same
or similar equipment in any single patient care unit. Ignoring these restrictions may
cause a lapse in patient monitoring.

Note
If the MR400 is networked to an IP5, alarm indications occur at both the MR400 and the IP5; and
control of alarms, including sound level, is localized to the device (MR400 or IP5) indicating the
alarm condition.
