Rad-87 Pulse CO-Oximeter Operator’s Manual

Alarms and Messages

Alarm Mute

When the Rad-87 is set to Interface Alarms "Alarm Tones Off" and an alarms condition occurs,

the Alarm Bell flashes red and the System Status Light is solid yellow for low priority alarms,

flashes yellow for medium priority alarms or flashes red for high priority alarms. The audible

alarm activates at the interfaced system while the audible alarm is muted at the device. Once the

alarm condition is resolved and there are no other system or parameter/measurement alarms,

the Alarm Bell stops flashing, the System Status Light changes to solid green and the audible

alarm at the interfaced system deactivates.

NOTE: An audible alarm will accompany the visual indicators unless the Rad-87 has been set

to Interface Alarms "Alarm Tones Off" or to Sleep Mode (all alarms muted).

NOTE: The Rad-87 reverts to Interface Alarms "Alarm Tones On" during power interruptions

or when the interface connection is lost. This ensures that the Rad-87 provides audible

alarms when connection to the interfaced system becomes compromised.

NOTE: Audible Alarm Tones are not active in the multiparameter patient monitor when used

with the VueLink interface. Refer to the Philips VueLink Setup section for details.
