4.3.5. Alarm Limits
An alarm limit is a target level or target range within which the patient’s value for that
parameter should ideally remain at all points during monitoring. If the patient’s value
for that parameter exceeds or falls below the target level or target range, that patient
may be at risk and should be checked by a caregiver. An alarm may be enabled to
indicate this situation. Thus, these alarms can alert the caregiver to possible patient
risk.
By default, all of these alarms are off. To set an alarm, reference 4.3.7 Changing Alarms
Settings on page 168.
The monitor proposes a target alarm range for the BIS™ parameter only. Target alarm
ranges or limits may be set by the user for the other alarms, as described below. As
soon as the user sets a range for an alarm, it is automatically enabled.
