Pager Overview
Part #880-0325-01 Rev. A 21
When the transmitter generates a page, it is placed in a queue
that holds up to four pages while they are being processed.
Pages in the queue that have the same priority will be sent in
the order they were received. If a higher priority alarm occurs
while a lower priority page is being processed by the transmitter,
the higher priority alarm will be sent first.
If a new page is generated and the queue has four pages with a
higher priority, the new page will be discarded. If a new page is
generated, and the queue has four pages with a lower priority, it
will replace the oldest page with the lowest priority.
Alarm Page Format
The transmitter will send alarm pages to the pager in a format
similar to the following example:
Bed: 1234
Low Sat
SPO2: 83%
PR: 70 bpm*
*The first line displays the bed number of the patient being
monitored. The second line of the message will display the type
of alarm. All of the alarm types are listed in the following table.
The third and fourth lines display the SPO2 percentage and
pulse rate readings at the time of the alarm.
! If the page is sent from a transmitter attached to a Nellcor N-
3000 monitor with ECG and/or respiration capabilities, the last
line of the message will display the pulse rate, heart rate, or
respiration parameter that is outside alarm limits.
