Automatic Recording of an Alarm
Touch the ALARM PARAMS key to display a menu of parameters that can initiate
alarm recordings on a bedside recorder and on a network printer if the parameter
goes into an alarm condition. Recording on a network printer is configuration-
dependent. See your system administrator for details.
If alarm recordings are disabled for a parameter, no alarm recording is produced
on either the bedside or network printer. However, the designated alarm tones are
still generated and alarm messages are displayed.
Alarm recordings print the last 12- or 20-seconds (selectable under RECORDING
DURATION) of a waveform or print until the alarm stops or is suspended,
whichever is longer. To stop a recording at the bedside printer, touch STOP or
UNIT OFF on the printer module.
When a bedside recorder is present in the monitor and is selected and online, an
alarm recording is automatically directed to that recorder.
Use the key labeled OTHER ON/OFF for any new parameter not yet on the alarm
parameters menu.
!
• Spacelabs Medical strongly recommends verifying alarm
parameter settings on the monitor once per shift and upon each
admission.
• If a printer is not attached to the monitor, the recorder channel
(1, 2, 4) keys do not appear in the menu.
