NO TELEM The NO TELEM alarm occurs in two situations:
NOTE
Refer to the Suspended Analysis
warning in the Arrhythmia
section of Chapter 11, ECG
Monitoring.
1. The patient moves out of range.
Transmitter is out of range. A repeating,
low-pitched foghorn tone sounds after
sensing NO TELEM for 30 seconds. The
Silence Alarms button silences this alarm
for 60 seconds. If, after one minute, the NO
TELEM alarm condition is still present, the
alarm sounds again. Use the Alarm Off
Reason option when extended alarm
silencing is desired. Refer to Chapter 8,
Alarm Control, for more information about
this feature. Should a LEADS FAIL
condition occur prior to a NO TELEM
condition, the LEADS FAIL condition takes
priority. The LEADS FAIL message is
displayed along with the NO TELEM
message.
NOTE
Patient must be within antenna
range to receive a CHANGE
BATTERY message.
2. Transmitter batteries are extremely low or
dead.
If batteries are extremely low or completely
dead, the NO TELEM message appears, a
CHANGE BATTERY message appears in
the patient’s bed window, and the audible
alarm sounds. Activating the ALL ALARMS
OFF feature prevents the audible alarm
from sounding.
