To ensure that alarm limits are appropriate for the patient being monitored,
check the limits each time the Radical-7 is used.

Nurse Call setting is set to Alarms.

Alarms are disabled in Sleep Mode.
Caution
When the Radical-7 is placed in All Mute, the patient alarms will not audibly

visual alarm.

During SatShare operation, the audible alarms may be muted on the Radical-7.
When the audible alarm is muted (indicated by a bell with a slash through it)

Saturation alarm.
