Setting and Adjusting Alarms
Pressure alarm limits can be defined for systolic, diastolic, and mean values for
ART, PA, UA, UV, and PRS. Alarm limits can only be set for the mean value for all
other pressures.
The Alarm Limits menu for ICP provides a cerebral perfusion pressure key (CPP)
used to set CPP alarm limits. CPP is computed as mean arterial pressure minus
intracranial pressure (MAP-ICP). The value CPP=xxx displays at the top of the
digital zone above the ICP value if ICP and at least one peripheral invasive arterial
pressure are being monitored. If the system cannot compute a pressure (for
example, no mean arterial pressure is available), then the message CPP=???
displays.
Alarms can be independently set for each pressure channel.
The CHECK CATHETER alarm may be set when umbilical artery pressure is
being monitored. This alarm will sound whenever the pulse rate drops below 60
BPM or the pressure approaches 0 mmHg. Touching the CHECK CATHETER key
will silence the alarm.
Adjusting Waveform Size
You can increase or decrease the size of the pressure waveform display. This
only changes the displayed size and does not affect the signal gain. The
waveform size may not be adjusted while the scales are displayed.
Selecting Numeric Display Size
You can select from three different display formats for pressure numerics (for
ART, PA, PRS, UA and UV only). In each of the three display formats, mean
pressure is 92, systolic pressure is 133 and diastolic pressure is 70.
