NetGuard Alarms Acknowledging Alarms
3.5 Acknowledging Alarms
The steps to acknowledge or stop a System or Patient alarm are different.
3.5.1 Lethal System Level Alarm
Acknowledge a latched lethal System level alarm at the device by pressing the two buttons
located on both sides of the reusable device. This will silence the alarm at the device, turn off
the device patient LED, and transmit an alarm acknowledgement notification to the NetGuard
server, which will close the pop-up window and silence the terminal alarm.
3.5.2 System Level Alarms
Acknowledge a latched lethal System level alarm by overriding the alarm at the terminal. The
alarm will not be silenced at the terminal until it is overridden.
3.5.3 Patient Level Alarms
Acknowledge a lethal System level alarm by overriding the alarm at the terminal. If the
patient’s heart rate thresholds return to an acceptable range, the alarm will be silenced at the
terminal.
