PATIENT ALARM MODE

WARNING:

Configuring the CARDELL Monitor’s alarm settings to “OFF” will disable all audible and visual

alarms. This mode should only be selected for spot check applications where the patient is

receiving bedside surveillance by a trained clinician. Refer to Page 68, AUDIO ALARMS

(SILENCE/RESET Pushbutton) for more information.

The CARDELL Monitor is equipped with patient alarms to warn the user if any measurement

parameter is outside the range of a user set value. This feature will allow the user to set values

for:

Systolic High and Low

Diastolic High and Low

MAP High and Low

CHANGING ALARM LIMITS

The CARDELL Monitor incorporates a two (2) step process for reviewing and changing Alarm

Limit values.

Press the ALARM LIMITS pushbutton once and the monitor’s front panel displays indicate the

current values of all High Alarm Limit values, for two (2) seconds then toggles to indicate all Low

Alarm Limit values for two (2) seconds. This reviewing of all High and Low Alarm Limit values

continues for thirty (30) seconds if no other pushbutton is pressed.

To change the value of an Alarm Limit, press the ALARM LIMITS pushbutton again. The Alarm

Limit value is displayed in its corresponding display window and the Message Window will

display the limit’s name.

Use the ARROW UP or ARROW DOWN pushbuttons to change the limit value. Use the

ALARM LIMITS pushbutton key to advance onto the next parameter value.

Press the CANCEL pushbutton to return to "Ready" or after thirty (30) seconds of button

inactivity the monitor will automatically return to "Ready". The alarm value(s) set will now be

used until power is turned “OFF”.

SAVING ALARM LIMITS

To save the Alarm Limit values to non-volatile memory, press and hold the ALARM LIMITS

pushbutton for two (2) seconds while in the Alarm Limits set value mode. The Message Window

will display "Save? N".

Press either the ARROW UP or ARROW DOWN pushbuttons will display “Save? Y” in the

Message Window. Press the ALARM LIMIT pushbutton a final time.
