Introduction Monitoring with the TD60 at the CS
9 - 2 TMS60 Operator’s Manual
9.1 Introduction
The chapter describes the configurations and displays at the central station (CS) once
the TD60 is connected to the CS.
At the CS, Mindray ECG algorithm and Mortara ECG algorithm are available. You can
select either algorithm as required.
9.2 Physiological Alarms
At the CS, you can view and change the physiological alarm limits and alarm levels in the
[Alarm Setup] menu. The [Alarm Setup] menu has three tabs:
[Parameter Alarm Settings]: view and change the parameter alarm limits, alarm
levels and alarm responses.
[Arrhythmia Alarms]: view and change the arrhythmia alarms levels, and alarm
responses.
[Arrh. Threshold Setup]: view and change the arrhythmia threshold settings for
some arrhythmia alarms.
For details about the [Alarm Setup] menu, refer to the BeneVision Central Station
Operator’s Manual (P/N 046-005011-00).
WARNING
Be aware that the devices in your care area may each have different
alarm settings to suit different patients. Always check that the alarm set-
tings are appropriate for your patient before you start monitoring.
A potential hazard can exist if different alarm presets are used for the
same or similar equipment in any single area, such as an intensive care
unit or cardiac operating room.
Make sure that the alarm limits settings are appropriate for your patient
before monitoring.
When monitoring patients that are not continuously attended by a clini-
cal operator, properly configure the alarm system and adjust alarm set-
tings as per the patient's condition.
Setting alarm limits to extreme values may cause the alarm system to
become ineffective. For example, high oxygen levels may predispose a
premature infant to retrolental fibroplasia. If this is a consideration do
NOT set the high alarm limit to 100%, which is equivalent to switching
the alarm off.
