BIS™ Advance Monitor
In both cases, alarm paused or off affects only the audible alarms. Visual alarms are
not affected.
Temporary audio alarm paused may be set for the device using the alarm keys.
Temporary alarm silence will be for a period of 120 seconds; a countdown until the
return of the alarm will appear in the Alarm area on the Home screen.
Audio volume can be set in the Alarm window, accessible using Main
Menu>ALARMS or Left Menu bar>ALARMS on the home screen.
Reference 3.11.3 Alarm Status Displayed on Home Screen on page 119 for the
appearance of the home screen alarm touch keys.
If the alarms are silenced using the Permanent Audio Alarm Off option, it is
recommended that the Audio Off Reminder be implemented. The Audio Off
Reminder must be enabled in Administrator Mode in order for it to be available; by
default, it is not available to the user.
The Audio Off reminder sounds every 180 seconds, reminding the user that auditory
alarms are silenced. To implement the Audio Off Reminder, open the Alarm window,
accessible using Main Menu>ALARMS or Left Menu bar>ALARMS on the home
screen. Click Audio Off Reminder and slide the switch left to the right to turn the
Audio Off option ON (switch will then appear green) and click APPLY. This will turn
on the reminder which will sound every three minutes when the alarm audio is
silenced.
The on screen message may indicate NOTE: Audio OFF Reminder is currently
disabled. To enable it, contact your administrator. In this case, contact the
administrator in your institution to turn on this option.
WARNING: If you plan to monitor the patient using alarms, do not pause,
disable or decrease the audible alarm volume until you verify that the patient
is being monitored by other means, such as direct observation, as this could
compromise patient safety.
WARNING: If you plan to monitor the patient using alarms, do not decrease the
adjustable alarm volume below ambient sound levels. Decreasing the alarm
volume below ambient levels might impede operator recognition of the
audible alarm, which might lead to patient harm during an alarm situation.
