• The timeout period is only applicable to the alarms in the medium prior-
ity chains and atrial fibrillation chain. For the alarms in the high priority

condition is detected.
• Alarm indication rules for alarms in the atrial fibrillation chain are the
same with those for the medium priority chains.
