Physiologic Alarms
Physiologic alarms indicate a life-threatening situation or a less urgent situation
such as heart rate beyond limits. There are no physiologic alarm signals
generated by the transceiver.
All physiologic alarms are generated at the IntelliVue Information Center,
and all alarm signals must be acknowledged at the Information Center.
Arrhythmia alarm chaining and other aspects of alarm behavior, such as alarm
levels, setting alarm limits, customizing arrhythmia alarm settings on a per
patient basis, switching individual measurement alarms on/off, and reviewing
alarm messages, are described in IntelliVue Information Center Instructions for
Use.
There are two levels of arrhythmia analysis available at the Information Center:
Basic and Enhanced. Enhanced analysis includes Basic alarms.
