WARNING
1 Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring.
Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level or off during patient monitoring may result
in patient danger. Please remember that the most reliable method of patient
monitoring combines close personal surveillance with correct operation of monitoring
equipment.
2 Ensure the volume is properly set up. When the sound pressure of audible alarm is
below or equivalent to the ambient noise, it may be difficult for the operator to
distinguish the audible alarm.
11.7 Testing Alarms
When you switch the MFM-CMS on, a self-test is started. Refer to 4.2.2 Switching on/off the
MFM-CMS.
The physiological alarms, technical alarms and prompts from telemetry transmitter are displayed
on MFM-CMS. Before monitoring, user should perform the measurement on yourself or use a
simulator to check the follows:
 System information area can normally display technical alarms and prompts of MFM-CMS
system;
 Patient sector and single bed view can normally display physiological alarms, technical
alarms and prompts of telemetry transmitter;
 Alarm sound can be heard clearly.
The correct checking above indicates that the visible and audible alarm are functioning correctly. For
further alarm tests, please adjust the alarm limits to check whether the alarm response is correct.
