2 From the All Controls window, select the
ST Alarms button under
Alarm Management and Setup.
3 In the ST Alarms window, adjust alarms as needed. Choices for
setting the ST alarm limits are:
Unit Settings—Click on this button if want to have the specific
limits that are pre-set for your unit.
Smart Limits—Click on this button to set high and low limits around
your patient's current ST value. The difference above and below the
patient's ST value are pre-set for your unit.
Note—Smart Limits can be configured to automatically be activated
when the patient is connected. See the IntelliVue Information Center
Instructions for Use for additional information on using smart limits.
Specified limits—Use these to set the high and low alarm limits
based on your assessment of the patient's clinical condition, unit
protocols, or physician orders or medication specified limits. A good
guideline is + 1.0 mm or - 1.0 mm from the patient's ST, or follow
your unit protocol.
