All patient alarms are medium priority alarm states as defined by IEC60601-1-8 with the exception of ECG
arrhythmias and “catheter disconnected” for invasive pressure (mean arterial pressure only). In this event if
the catheter pressure drops from a value of greater than 10 mmHg to less than 10 mmHg and remains there
for a period longer than that specified in the table in section 7, then the red alarm bar LED will flash and a
high priority alarm tone will be emitted.
7.4 Technical alarms
Technical alarms can relate to the state of the Tempus itself or its connection to the patient. Technical
alarms are low priority alarm states as defined by IEC60601-1-8.
The majority of technical alarms are self-explanatory and should be addressed by following the on-screen
instructions. Additional information is provided below for certain technical alarm conditions.
Technical alarms can be cleared by the operator – see “7.7 Viewing and clearing alarms”.
