Alarm priority can be turned off for certain alarms. Parameters configured to use Priority Off
do not have any visual or audio alarm indicators, however, the Print on Alarm and Save
to Event alarm response options still function.
3.2.3.2 Save to Event
Save to Event enables the Panorama Central Station to save a 20 second snapshot of a
specific alarm event so that it can later be retrieved and studied in more detail.

Print on Alarm automatically generates a patient All Strips report when a specified alarm
is triggered. For additional information about the All Strips report, refer to the ‘‘All Strips
Report’’ on page 8-2.

Technical alarms are patient specific and are related to technical issues that occur with
cables, leads, sensors and calibration.

The visual and audio indicators associated with a technical alarm are as follows:
Visual Indicators
Technical visual indicators display as white text messages in the Patient Status line.
