Alarms
NOTE
The following conditions apply when you silence alarms at the CIC Pro center:
 The alarms remain silent for one minute unless a new patient alarm
condition occurs.
 ApexPro telemetry beds: If a patient alarm condition of any severity
level occurs, the alarm silence condition is cancelled and the alarm will
break through.
 Monitors and CD Telemetry-LAN telemetry beds: If a patient alarm
condition of equal or greater severity level occurs, the alarm silence
condition is cancelled and the alarm will break through.
 The alarms for all patients are silenced simultaneously. You cannot silence
patient alarms one at a time.
 The CIC Pro center displays a filled alarm silence icon when alarms are
silenced at the CIC Pro center or at a monitor.
Alarm silence indicator
When active alarms are silenced at the CIC Pro center or at a monitor, the CIC Pro
center displays an alarm silence icon in the ECG parameter window.
This icon remains displayed for the duration of the alarm silence condition or until a
new alarm condition occurs.
Adjusting alarm control settings
When viewing a single, in-unit patient from the CIC Pro center, you may temporarily
adjust the monitor Alarm Control settings.
WARNING
ALARM CONTROL SETTINGS—If you adjust parameter limits or
alarm levels at the CIC Pro center, these setting changes are also
implemented by the bedside monitor. You must notify the bedside
caregiver that you changed the parameter limit or alarm levels of
that bedside monitor.
