parameter settings menus).
7.5.1 Default alarm settings
It should be noted that all patient alarms have a user configurable delay of 0-8 seconds (4 seconds default,
0 seconds minimum) to help prevent spurious alarms being generated – see “7.5 Setting alarms”.
In addition to this user-configurable time, the Tempus will produce alarms after the durations specified
below.
