Alarm Off Reason
Selecting from a list of reasons, you can define why alarms have been
turned off. This text is displayed in addition to the ALARMS OFF
message in the patient’s window at the CIC Pro.
The following are the options for alarms off reasons.
 Selecting OFF turns all alarms off until you turn them back on.
 Selecting any reason establishes an alarm pause state for 5 minutes
in the presence of a valid waveform. After 5 minutes, alarms will
reactivate if the patient is within range of the antenna system for 15
seconds or longer. If the patient remains out of antenna range, the
alarm pause state will continue until the patient re-enters antenna
range for 15 seconds or longer.
NOTE
The patient must be in antenna range for the alarm pause state
to cease.
WARNING
Alarms do not sound, alarm histories are not stored, and
alarm graphs do not print during an alarms off with
reason condition.
