Telemetry Transmitter User Manual Alarm Management
For these technical alarms, the system indicates by four different types of audible and visual
prompts.
When a group of technical alarms (for example, transducer falls off) produced by telemetry
transmitters, a piece of alarm prompt information in scrolling mode will appear on the main
screen of MFM-CMS. In addition, the MFM-CMS will sound corresponding alarm (high,
medium or low level alarm).
11.1.3 Prompts
Telemetry transmitter can send the character indication of monitoring process or other functions
to MFM-CMS. This character, with black background, white font and with no alarm sound, is
called prompts. The About the detailed alarm information, please refer to Section Chapter 12
Alarm Information.
11.2 Alarm Levels
Alarm level reflects the severity of an alarm. The alarms from telemetry transmitters are divided
into three groups regarding the alarm levels.
1. High level alarms
A high level alarm intensively warns the operator of a high priority alarm condition which
requires immediate operator response. Failure to respond to the cause of the alarm condition is
likely to result in death or irreversible injury of the patient.
2. Medium level alarms
A medium level alarm warns the operator of a medium priority alarm condition which requires
prompt operator response. Failure to respond to the cause of the alarm condition is likely to result
in reversible injury of the patient.
3. Low level alarms
A low level alarm reminds the operator of a low priority alarm condition which requires response.
And the response time for a low priority alarm condition can be greater than that for a medium
priority alarm condition. Failure to respond to the cause of the alarm condition is likely to result
in discomfort or reversible minor injury of the patient.
11.3 Parameters Alarm Setting
Refer to 8.2.1 Parameters Alarm Setting for Information related to parameters alarm setting.
11.4 Alarm Mute
For information about how to set alarm mute, refer to Section 10.2.4 MFM-CMS System Alarm
Setup. Alarm mute means that when an alarm occurs, the system will not give an alarm sound but
only maintain a visual prompt.
