6.2 Alarm Limits Tab (Patient)
The patient Alarm Limits tab (shown in FIGURE 6-2) adjusts patient alarm limit settings. The
alarm limits available will change according to the type of monitoring device assigned to the
selected patient tile. The fields discussed in this section may not apply to all users.
For
additional information regarding alarm limit settings, refer to ‘‘Alarms and Events’’ on page
13-1.
The patient Alarm Limits tab is available at the ViewStation (shown in FIGURE 6-3) but is
for viewing purposes only. When a patient tile is assigned at the ViewStation, it will always
display the alarm limit settings of the associated host central station patient tile.
The patient Alarm Limits tab is available at the WorkStation and functions in the same
manner as it does at the host central station but contains fewer sidebar buttons. Similar to the
central station, alarm limit changes made at the WorkStation will be sent to the central
station, View Only Workstation, and bedside monitor (if applicable).
Automatic updating of the alarm limit settings at the remote workstation will also occur when:
• The monitoring device is placed in the Standby mode at the central station
• The monitoring device is not communicating with its host central station (Communications
Lost)
• Communication between the host central station and the ViewStation and/or the
WorkStation is lost (Central Communications Lost)
WARNING: Changing the patient alarm limits at the WorkStation will
automatically change the patient alarm limits at the
Panorama Central Station AND the bedside monitor (if
applicable) for the selected patient tile.
NOTE: The host central station(s) C-LAN configuration settings and
the software installed at the remote location dictates the
functionality available for each patient tile. For additional
information, refer to ‘‘The ViewStation and the
WorkStation’’ on page 2-4.
